LGBTQIA+ rights and social welfare initiatives in Brazil

Overview

Brazil has implemented various regional and federal initiatives to support the LGBTQIA+ community. In João Pessoa, the ‘Eu Posso Diversidade’ microcredit program was launched to assist entrepreneurs with funding up to R$ 20,000. Simultaneously, in Amapá, the Court of Justice extended the registration period for a program providing free civil union ceremonies for same-sex couples.

On a broader scale, the Bahia State Government introduced a guidebook for LGBTQIA+ elderly individuals to address issues of invisibility in long-term care. At the federal level, the National Secretariat for LGBTQIA+ Rights is executing programs such as Acolher+, Bem Viver+, and Empodera+ to combat violence and inequality. Additionally, the 2024/2027 Multi-Year Plan has established specific goals to address opportunity inequality for this population.
