• RESOLUTION 163 BY CONANDA IS A VICTORY FOR CHILDHOOD
What was already stated in law is now even clearer, and the issue is now one of the interests of Co-
nanda (National Council for the Rights of Children and Teenagers). Resolution 163, published on
April 4th, considers advertising and marketing communications aimed at children to be abusive.
The text states that a practice done "with the intention of persuading them towards the consump-
tion of any product or service is abusive and, therefore, illegal under the Consumer Protection
Code." It also considers abusive any advertising inside daycare centers and schools, including on
uniforms and didactic materials.
• SUPPORT FROM THE
NATIONAL HEALTH COUNCIL
A Motion in Support of Resolution
163 was approved in a plenary session.

diator. The following day, the debate "Who is

dren's author Ilan Brenman, researcher Irene
Rizzini, and the educator Renata Meirelles.

• REBRINC HOLDS ANOTHER MEETING
The topics of the V Meeting were the reactions to
Conanda's Resolution 163 and the need for move-
ments to organize in favor of childhood. "The
market is resisting the change and keeps running
advertising directed at children," said Desirée
Ruas of Rebrinc. "This is a challenge to all move-
ments that defend childhood," she concluded.
