When the Brazilian government removed questions about sexual orientation and gender identity from the national census, Havaianas developed The Pride Research to ensure visibility for the LGBTQI+ community. In partnership with DataFolha and All Out, Havianas spent eight months travelling around more than 150 Brazilian cities – resulting in a 78-page report that recognised more than 15.5 million Brazilians as LGBTQI+ for the first time in history. The work took home a Silver Lion in Sustainable Development Goals.
