Brazilian Institute of Family Law
- Brazilian Institute of Family Law
The Brazilian Institute of Family Law or IBDFAM (from "Instituto Brasileiro de Direito de Família", in Portuguese) is a non-profit civil association founded on October 25, 1997, in the city of Belo Horizonte, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, during the First Congress of Brazilian Family Law.
The national headquarters of the Brazilian Institute of Family Law is located in Belo Horizonte. However, IBDFAM has representatives in all states of the union through its state and regional leaderships.
Justice Maria Berenice Dias of the state of Rio Grande do Sul is the founder of the Brazilian Institute of Family Law and is currently its vice-president (in 2006). Dr. Dias was the very first female judge to take the bench in her home state. She also became a nominee to the Supreme Court of Justice of Brazil at the start of 2006.
Some of the main goals of IBDFAM are to conduct studies and research, to promote discussions with an interdisciplinary focus and to try and foster the overall wellbeing of the Brazilian family. The Institute also acts on behalf of free and full citizenship for all members of society Brazilian and on defense of the rights of all Brazilian families - traditional and non-traditional. Furthermore, IBDFAM also promotes and seeks to participate in dialogs and round tables throughout Brazil and abroad.
