In Brazil, we have an important set of laws to protect the rights of children and adolescents.
The Child and Adolescent Statute (ECA), sanctioned on July 13, 1990, is Brazil's main normative instrument on the rights of children and adolescents. The ECA incorporated the advances recommended in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and paved the way for implementing Article 227 of the Federal Constitution, which determined fundamental rights and guarantees for children and adolescents.
Considered the most significant symbol of this new way of treating childhood and adolescence in the country, the ECA innovated by bringing comprehensive protection, in which children and adolescents are seen as subjects of rights, in a peculiar condition of development, and with absolute priority. It also reaffirmed the responsibility of family, society, and the State to guarantee the conditions for the full development of this population, in addition to keeping them safe from all forms of discrimination, exploitation, and violence.
To guarantee the implementation of complete protection, the government and civil society work together through municipal, state, district, and national councils for the rights of children and adolescents. With a deliberative character and equal composition, these bodies control public policies
and are among the main actors in the Rights Guarantee System (SGD). It is in this context that the Ministry of Women, Family, and
Human Rights, through the National Secretariat for the Rights of Children and Adolescents, and the National Council for the Rights of Children and Adolescents consider the strengthening and articulation between these collegiate bodies as fundamental strategies for promoting and defending the rights of children and teenagers.
How Do We use that, for implementation in localities or municipalities across the country, Guardianship Councils were created, local people who run for direct elections to occupy public positions for a 2-year term and are remunerated with public money for their activities.
So for the question from Prof. Soofia, In response to teacher Sofia's question, we would call the tutor on duty and make a complaint about the parents' attitude and the risk inflicted on the child. In the event of the child's death, the guardianship counselor himself makes a complaint to investigate the parents' attitude and the risk of contributing to the death.
