Opening of the Extraordinary Deliberative Meeting

Introduction and Purpose

• The first extraordinary deliberative meeting of the External Commission for the prevention and confrontation of child sexual violence is officially opened. This commission was established by a presidential act published on May 7, 2026.

• Clarifications are requested before proceeding to the agenda, emphasizing the importance of understanding procedural requirements.

Procedural Guidelines for Public Hearings

Submission of Requests

• Deputies wishing to suggest names for public hearings must submit requests via INFOG authenticator at least 24 hours prior to the meeting. Procedural requests can be sent one hour in advance.

Communication Protocol

Contact Information

• Leadership communication delegations should be sent to sdr.infantojuvenil@camara.br. The electronic attendance panel opens one hour before meetings for registration and speaking opportunities. The committee's secretariat is authorized to record attendance during discussions.

Establishment of Reporting Channel

Reporting Mechanism

• A channel has been established for receiving information, reports, and communications related to cases of sexual violence against children and adolescents through cx.infantojuvenil@camara.br. These submissions may inform the commission's work and will be forwarded to relevant authorities when appropriate.

Limitations and Responsibilities

Authority Constraints

• The external commission lacks investigative powers akin to a CPI but will report all allegations to appropriate police authorities as mandated by Article 227 of Brazil's Federal Constitution (1988). It emphasizes state responsibility in protecting children from neglect, discrimination, exploitation, violence, and cruelty.

Agenda Overview

Work Plan Presentation

• Following modifications in its composition post-establishment, today's agenda includes a presentation of the work plan and deliberation on requests aimed at optimizing time efficiency within committee operations. The work plan outlines priorities for discussion while adhering to internal regulations regarding agenda organization by the coordinator as per Article 47 of internal rules.

Summary of Work Plan Objectives

Contextual Background

• The External Commission was formed due to an alarming increase in sexual violence against children in Brazil, with over 17,500 reported violations in just four months (2023), marking a significant rise since previous years. Brazil ranks fifth globally for online child sexual abuse reports; regions like Legal Amazon show rates exceeding national averages by 21%.

Statistics on Child Exploitation

Alarming Figures

• Estimates indicate over 500,000 children face sexual exploitation annually alongside nearly 24,000 disappearances recorded in 2025—averaging about 66 daily—highlighting persistent underreporting issues amid weak protective networks and ineffective law enforcement responses that necessitate urgent parliamentary oversight through this commission’s efforts.

Proposed Actions

Legislative Solutions

• Through technical visits across nine states, public hearings, an open reporting channel, and thorough data analysis, the commission aims to identify structural failures while proposing effective legislative solutions aligned with constitutional priorities concerning children's rights—committing fully towards combating impunity and enhancing institutional protections for vulnerable youth populations across Brazil.

Acknowledgment from Committee Members

Collaborative Efforts

• Deputy Osmaterra expresses respect towards fellow members' contributions while highlighting his dedication towards addressing child exploitation issues through legislative measures such as Project No.3066 focusing on technological advancements facilitating these crimes—including AI-generated content—and emphasizes collaboration within this newly formed committee aiming at impactful outcomes throughout various Brazilian states including Rio Grande do Sul among others discussed earlier during proceedings.

Conclusion

Meeting Closure

• With no further matters requiring attention or discussion left unresolved; the extraordinary deliberative meeting is declared closed with an announcement regarding future sessions scheduled accordingly.
