Child and adolescent protection in Amazonas

Overview

Efforts to protect children and adolescents in Amazonas, Brazil, have focused on both digital privacy and physical safety through legal and institutional frameworks.

In July 2026, the Public Defender’s Office of the State of Amazonas released a guide to educate the public on the General Data Protection Law (LGPD) as it applies to minors. The guide emphasizes that data processing must serve the best interests of the child and requires parental consent, except in emergencies involving violence.

Complementing these privacy efforts, the Legislative Assembly of Amazonas (Aleam) has implemented several laws to strengthen youth protection networks. These include the ‘Infância Protegida’ app for anonymous reporting of rights violations, a Code of Conduct for sports professionals to prevent abuse, and mandates for hospitals to report suspected cases of abuse.
