According to the public defender and coordinator of the campaign in Amazonas, Petra Sofia, the action brings together different demands from the Family area in a single day to expand the population's access to Justice. "We will bring together on the same day the cases of voluntary recognition of paternity and maternity, paternity investigation, in addition to other actions in the Family area, with the aim of protecting the rights of the children and adolescents involved and supporting responsible parenting", he stated. In 2024, the campaign carried out more than 400 free DNA tests and more than 500 legal services related to paternity recognition. In 2025, the initiative provided more than 450 services in the capital.
