Uberlândia has three Guardianship Councils that provide services to children and adolescents in vulnerable situations, now operating from the Iracema Marques Social Complex.
Uberlândia, Brazil, is served by three Guardianship Councils designed to assist children and adolescents who face threats or rights violations. These councils cover over 170 neighborhoods and settlements across the city, aiming to ensure the safety and wellbeing of minors. Since late 2025, the councils have been operating from a new location at the Iracema Marques Social Complex in the Daniel Fonseca neighborhood, reflecting a commitment to improved accessibility and service coordination.
The move to the Iracema Marques Social Complex marks a significant change in how these councils function. They now offer integrated services during normal business hours, with additional support available during nights, weekends, and holidays, which is critical for urgent situations that may arise outside of traditional hours. This change is part of a broader effort to enhance the support network for vulnerable children and adolescents in Uberlândia.
The operations of the Guardianship Councils in Uberlândia are governed by Municipal Law No. 9.903, established on July 8, 2008. This law outlines the structure and responsibilities of the Guardianship Council members, ensuring they are well-equipped to address cases of children in need. To assist the community, G1 has compiled a comprehensive guide that includes all necessary information regarding the councils, and how individuals can seek assistance or guidance from these vital services.
