SUMMARY:

This present dissertation aims to examine the correlation between legal instruments in Science, Technology, and Innovation (STI) and the realization of the right to technology in Brazil and the Federal District, with a focus on existing racial inequalities in this context. To conduct this research, the study prioritizes a case study approach concerning racial disparities in the distribution process of Covid-19 vaccines. It is an empirical, correlational, quali-quantitative research with a longitudinal temporal scope. It is divided into four sections that seek to: present the main legal and policy instruments in STI in Brazil, as well as the instruments used for the acquisition of vaccines against the coronavirus; contextualize the Covid-19 Pandemic and crisis management in an international comparison; assess the racial inequalities that occurred in Brazil and the Federal District in the context of the Pandemic; and discuss the role of legal instruments in combating social inequalities in the realization of the right to technology. Throughout the work, racial disparities are observed in the socio-economic and health impacts of the Pandemic, with the Black population facing higher mortality rates, illness, impoverishment, and unemployment; the Black population also experienced significantly lower vaccination rates than the non-Black population. The research also noted that the Black population generally has less access to technology and innovation support instruments than the non-Black population. The conclusion primarily discusses the scarcity, within the context of STI legal instruments, of provisions and initiatives aimed at addressing racial inequalities.
