Pará's 'My Father Has a Name' Campaign: Registration Closes Friday, August 17
The registration period for the fifth edition of the national campaign 'Meu Pai Tem Nome' (My Father Has a Name), organized by the Public Defender's Office of Pará (DPE-PA), concludes this Friday, August 17. This initiative targets children, adolescents, and adults facing socioeconomic vulnerability. The main event, a service marathon, is scheduled for August 8. In the Metropolitan Region, services will be available in Belém, Ananindeua, Marituba, Benevides, Santa Izabel do Pará, and Castanhal. The campaign will also extend to numerous municipalities in the interior, including Abaetetuba, Altamira, Bragança, Breves, Paragominas, Marabá, Itaituba, Parauapebas, Redenção, Santarém, Tucuruí, Capanema, Moju, and Portel. Services offered include recognition and investigation of paternity and maternity, DNA testing, child support actions, consensual and litigious divorce, recognition and dissolution of stable unions, and recognition of socio-affective paternity and maternity for individuals over 12 years old. Appointments in the Belém Metropolitan Region can be made via the 'Conexão Defensoria' hotline (129) or in person at the Estações Cidadania in Metrópole and Bosque Grão-Pará shopping centers. For municipalities in the interior, registration must be done in person at the local Public Defender's Office units.
This campaign addresses a critical social need by facilitating legal processes for family recognition and support, particularly for vulnerable populations. The multi-city outreach demonstrates a commitment to broad accessibility. Future iterations could explore leveraging digital platforms for remote registration and information dissemination to further expand reach and efficiency, especially in remote interior regions. Analyzing the long-term impact on child welfare and family stability could provide valuable insights for public policy regarding access to justice and social services.
