About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
Thank you, President. I come to this podium today with my stomach sickened by what we witnessed at the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais: the legalization of pedophilia, the authorization for children to have relations with adult men, and the fact of calling this disgusting, criminal act a marriage.
- For
About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
We who are constantly fighting to defend children and our adolescent girls against femicide, in the struggle to value the lives of women, against a misogynistic State, have witnessed, in a horrifying manner, the legalization of pedophilia in Brazil.
- For

This is something that frightens, shocks, and calls us to responsibility.
- For
About: review judicial decisions that authorize sexual relations between adults and children
Even more shocking is to imagine that the punishment that can be applied to this appellate judge because of his decision is that he receives a lifelong retirement; that there is no mechanism to review a criminal decision.

About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
The Brazilian State has already neglected and abandoned this child — because 12 years old is a child, Deputies, a child who should not have been with a man found rolling a marijuana joint and drinking in an environment where she was having sexual relations with him, a child who said: "He was the best of my boyfriends."
- Neutral
About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
Just imagine what this child has already been through at the hands of other men!

About: review decision patterns of the Minas Gerais Court of Justice that acquit adults for relations with children
And it is important to remember that this is not the first decision that the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais has made.

Two years ago, it also acquitted a 20-year-old man who had been involved with a 12-year-old child who was pregnant at 13.

This man was also acquitted by the Justice of the State of Minas Gerais.

What are we accepting and legalizing in this Brazil?

About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
We must defend our children, we must protect our childhoods.

About: prioritize child protection on the public agenda
While they make speeches pursuing non-existent agendas, concrete, serious, real issues happen before our eyes, appalling anyone with decency and common sense.
- For
About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
We are witnessing an indecency, a mockery, a violence perpetrated by the Court of Justice of Minas Gerais against this child, opening precedents so that barbarities and horrific crimes like this become consented to and normalized.
- For
About: call on the National Council of Justice to review judicial decisions affecting minors
Let our repudiation be recorded. We have already called on the CNJ to make a statement.
- For
About: protect children and adolescents against sexual abuse by adults
The Public Prosecutor's Office has already spoken, and we will continue to cry out for the protection of our children, our adolescent girls, our girls and Brazilian women, so that decisions like these are not normalized in Brazil; so that the State does not abandon our children; and so that pedophilia is not normalized.
Mr. President, I ask that my statement be published on the House portals and on the program A Voz do Brasil.
