SafeWithRenata
Yesterday, I (Renata) received a text from the Brazil senator’s assessor that simply said:
“Law reform introduced. The first step is done! Thank you for speaking out.”
I just froze. A movie played in my head.
I am just a girl who decided to speak up about her pain, and look what happened…
For the past few months, I’ve been in touch with the senator’s team after the One in Fifty documentary and several reports aired in Brazil about my personal story with child identity theft.
Several victims began reaching out, and we started discussing what could be done to protect children from having their identities abused by adults. Victim led initiative. A Law Reform was introduced yesterday in the Brazilian Senate!
The amendment proposes to reform the Civil Code to add a new layer of protection for minors. It now requires the Public Ministry’s Office to authorize every individual case where a minor’s identity is being used by adults, for instance, to open a company.
I had asked for a total prohibition, but that wouldn’t have passed due to legitimate inheritance cases. Still, this change is monumental: it places the State in charge of representing the child’s best interests, and if something goes wrong, the Public Ministry can be held responsible.
If this safeguard had existed when I was six years-old, my story would have been very different. The person who used my identity already had bad credit and was already answering a criminal case for tax evasion which he eventually was sentenced on - yet he became my “legal representative” at the time.
All those debts in my name were not a reflection of who I was. It was a reflection of a system that failed to protect me.
I believe this will start to change. 💙
* In the video: me reading the final version of the amendment that was officially introduced in the Brazilian Senate yesterday. Under its justification, it literally cites that this proposal comes as a result of victims speaking out publicly and raising awareness through the media.
