This editorial presents the result of the public call for articles that make up the special “Diversity and Human Rights in Primary Health Care”. The human rights situation in Brazil is worrying, with profound inequities in the full exercise of citizenship among social groups, including access to health services and maintenance of adequate and fair health levels. Racial, gender, sexuality, diversity, violence and human rights are becoming increasingly important in the context of primary health care (PHC) and Family and Community Medicine.The works published in this special point to the importance of thinking about the organization of an intersectional PHC and a comprehensive, welcoming, humanized, resolute and culturally and socially oriented health practice. Family and Community Medicine should produce more robust theoretical reflections to support care for people in severe situations of vulnerability and suffering. At the same time, the composition of RBMFC’s editorial board should have greater equity in gender, ethnicity and geography. We hope the content of this special will support the reflection on and construction of practices and policies able to face the deep and diverse social inequalities of the country, and that in the future we can count on a greater knowledge production in this field.
