Let go of my mother!
The main objective of the project is to reduce the incarceration of pregnant women and mothers. During its initial phase, it focused on incarcerated mothers with convictions, using the two Mother's Day pardon decrees of 2017 and 2018 as a means of restoring freedom.
In its second phase, which began in 2019, the project changed its focus to the provisional arrests of pregnant women at the Reference Center for Pregnant Women. This phase was based on the protection of early childhood and the decision handed down by the Federal Supreme Court in HC 143.641. The project was financed until 2020 by the FBDH - Brazilian Human Rights Fund and by its own resources.
PERIOD: 2017-2021

Antoinette de Barros
This project, initially financed by the Brazilian Human Rights Fund during its first phase, was designed to improve the participation of Assessoria Popular Maria Felipa in the National Committee for the Prevention and Combat of Torture.
It involved the collaboration of several entities representing organized civil society and carried out a comprehensive assessment of state systems aimed at combating and preventing torture. Currently, it is financed by the Open Society Foundation, we work in Minas Gerais, Rondônia and the Federal District in the implementation, adaptation and improvement of State Mechanisms for Preventing and Combating Torture, in line with OPCAT's international standards.

Platform Backyard
Project started in 2019, developed by the Youth Forum of the Metropolitan Region of Belo Horizonte in partnership with Assessoria Popular Maria Felipa with initial support from the Brazilian Human Rights Fund.
An online platform for registering reports of police violence, anonymously or not, as well as reporting
legal referral to the competent bodies, when the victim is willing.
Currently, the platform is financed by Maria Felipa and managed in partnership with the Youth Forum. From the perspective of gender violence, we identified that, in data relating to police violence in the city of Belo Horizonte, women do not appear among the victims. However, on the Baculejo Platform, we follow reports of police violence where women were
victims. This discrepancy between data from public authorities and that collected on the platform leads us to the conclusion that institutional reporting paths are more hostile to women.
PERIOD: 2019 - ONGOING
Assessoria Popular Maria Felipa is a Social Impact institution that works to provide access to full justice for women: black women, mothers, peripheral people, and LGBTQIA people as a mechanism for consolidating Brazilian Democracy.
