The name is a tribute to Princess Isabel, the Redeemer, who signed the Golden Law (Lei Áurea) in 1888, abolishing slavery in Brazil. She embodies the pillars of our Institute: the courage to defend what is right, the protection of human dignity, and personal sacrifice for the sake of a non-negotiable value: freedom. Just as Princess Isabel faced the pressures of her time to secure justice — signing the Golden Law even at the cost of her own crown — Instituto Isabel seeks to be a modern shield for life and the family, inspired by the strength and faith of the woman who changed the history of Brazil.

There are three main ways to strengthen our shield:
– Direct Donation: As an independent institution that accepts no public funds, your financial contribution (one-time or monthly) is what sustains our technical and legal work. BE PART
– Engagement and Outreach: Sharing our content, research, and campaigns helps break through the bubble and bring our values to more citizens. Training: By taking part in our events and courses, you become an arm of the Institute in your community, acting as an informed and conscientious citizen.
– Prayer and Moral Support: For us, the spiritual and moral support of those who share our vision is the fuel that sustains our mission of courage.

The Isabel Institute is an organization dedicated to the defense of Life, Family, and Freedom. Our mission is to act as a shield for the values that uphold human dignity, forming conscientious citizens and influencing public policies that respect the pillars of our society.

No. We are an institutionally independent organization. Although we engage with lawmakers and decision-makers across the spectrum to advance our agenda, our commitment is to values and principles, not to party labels.

Although our values are deeply aligned with the Judeo-Christian tradition that underpins Western civilization, the Institute operates in the civil and legal sphere. Our foundation rests on natural law, science, and fundamental rights.

Yes, which means we are present where decisions are made. For example: in the Legislative, we monitor and suggest bills; in the Executive, we propose public policies; and in the Judiciary, we act as amicus curiae (friend of the court) to provide technical input in crucial rulings before the STF and the higher courts.

We provide institutional and legal support in cases involving freedom of expression, religious freedom, and the defense of the family’s fundamental rights, ensuring that no one is silenced for defending what they believe.

We are a non-profit organization, maintained primarily by donations from individuals and partnerships with entities that share our vision. We do not accept public funds that could compromise our independence.

We value transparency. We regularly publish activity reports on our social networks and through our exclusive supporter newsletter, detailing our victories in Congress, in the courts, and in the formation of society.

We are always looking for talent that combines technical excellence with a commitment to our core values.
