On today’s episode, we will be diving into a timely and sensitive topic — the Executive Order signed by President Trump in January 2025 to terminate the DEI programs in the U.S. federal government workforce and in federal contracting and spending.


While this marks a significant shift domestically, we want to examine how this policy change may affect U.S. companies operating abroad — particularly in Angola, Mozambique, and Gabon. Subscribe to our podcast today to stay up to date on employment issues from law experts worldwide.


Host: Nuno Gouveia (email) (Miranda Alliance)


Guest Speakers: Patrícia Carril (email) (Miranda Alliance - Fátima Freitas Associados / Angola), Silvia Mota Carvalho (email) (Miranda Alliance – Cabinet Nguia / Gabon) & João Pires Teixeira (email) (Miranda Alliance – Pimenta & Associados / Mozambique)
