In comparison with other countries, Brazil's situation appears more critical. In 2022, there were three times more overweight children in Brazil than the global average.
The number of kids with internet access in Brazil saw a small increase in 2023, a survey by TIC Kids Online Brasil shows. The study also showed there is still a part of this group that has never been online: over 580 thousand people.
These are children and adolescents living in foster care homes. The Southeast and the South of the country concentrate eight out of ten of these kids, a study revealed.
The study examined 800 children and adolescents from 120 public and private schools in São Paulo through an extensive questionnaire on their interactions with the police.
Brazil has made a series of significant strides in the enforcement of the rights of children and adolescents, and the results of policies on health care and education are seen reflected among immigrants in this age group.
