Brazilian legal developments regarding maternity rights

Overview

Legal rulings in Brazil have addressed various aspects of maternity and filiation rights. In Goiás, a court in Rio Verde recognized dual maternity for a child conceived via home artificial insemination, ruling that the birth certificate must include both mothers without distinction based on socio-affective filiation.

Subsequently, the Supreme Federal Court (STF) unanimously approved a ruling to equalize maternity leave for biological and adoptive mothers. The decision establishes a base of 120 days of paid leave, extendable by 60 days, applicable to various employment regimes including civil and military public servants. However, the court rejected a proposal to allow the free sharing of parental leave between mothers and fathers.
