Brazil Lula advances child-support & gender‑violence reforms

Entities: Brazil · Ligue 180 · Mulher Segura · Conselho Nacional de Justiça · Ligue 180

Overview

In early July 2026 President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed a law restricting minors’ access to psychotropic drugs. On 29 July 2026 he enacted two further statutes. The first creates the “Pix Pensão” system, which automatically debits child‑support payments through the Central Bank’s Pix platform; banks must block a payer’s assets if funds are insufficient. The National Justice Council will compile and publish payment data. The law, approved by the Chamber of Deputies in April 2025 and the Senate in early July 2025, will take effect one year after its publication in the Official Gazette. The second statute expands mandatory advertising of the Ligue 180 hotline for reporting violence against women, placing it in schools, hospitals, transport hubs and other high‑traffic venues, and reinforces the “Mulher Segura/Women Safe” initiative that broadens electronic monitoring of aggressors. Both measures are presented as part of Lula’s “Pacto Nacional contra o Feminicídio,” underscoring a broader agenda on health, family support and gender‑based violence.
