Brazil’s Senate is reviewing a bill to establish a statute for people with obesity. The proposal is before the Committee on Education and Culture (CE).
Bill PL 6.130/2025 has already been approved by the Chamber of Deputies. Senator Damares Alves (Republicanos-DF) is the rapporteur.
The bill provides for access to appropriate, individualized treatment, inclusion in the labor market, incentives for research and campaigns against prejudice.
