Senator Damares Alves proposed legislation to mandate the use of the Information System for Children and Adolescents (Sipia) by guardianship councils, noting that fewer than half of Brazil’s municipalities currently utilize the platform. Government and judicial representatives identified gaps in national protocols for schools and deficiencies in combating online sexual abuse. Concurrently, the Chamber of Deputies is reviewing bills to enhance care coordination and family support.
