For over a decade, the Instituto DEFESA has stood as the most active and impactful civil rights organization in Brazil dedicated to the defense of armed self-defense, the right to bear arms, and the sovereignty of the citizen over the State.
Unlike many advocacy groups, Instituto DEFESA doesn’t just post slogans online. It works on the ground, in the courts, in the streets, and in Congress—defending the people’s right to freedom with real, strategic, and often daring action.
Here’s what the international community needs to know:
✅ What Instituto DEFESA Has Already Done in Brazil

- Mobilized over 1 million Brazilians through campaigns, protests, and petitions to oppose disarmament laws.
- Led public legal resistance against illegal weapons bans and abusive regulations.
- Published the largest gun rights website in the Portuguese-speaking world, with thousands of articles, videos, and legal guides.
- Placed pro-gun billboards across Brazil, in major cities, taking the fight to the public square.
- Trained instructors, citizens, and lawmakers on the legal, technical, and ethical aspects of gun ownership.
- Pressured politicians and public officials, directly and publicly, holding them accountable for anti-freedom stances.
- Defended citizens in court, legally supporting those persecuted for exercising their right to self-defense.
- Fought back against media narratives, exposing manipulation and misinformation about civilian gun ownership.
- Acted as a watchdog, monitoring and denouncing unconstitutional decrees and covert disarmament actions.
- Sustained its work without government funding, relying solely on civilian support to stay truly independent.

🌎 What the DEFENSE Institute Will Do Globally
With the creation of the DEFENSE Institute, this movement expands beyond Brazil. Our mission is now international—because the attacks on liberty are global, and so must be the resistance.
The DEFENSE Institute will:
- Connect pro-gun communities worldwide, sharing strategies, legal knowledge, and successful resistance models.
- Expose globalist disarmament agendas pushed by NGOs, media conglomerates, and international organizations.
- Create multilingual educational content to equip citizens across continents with legal, ethical, and tactical tools.
- Support international litigation and advocacy, defending the right to bear arms wherever it is under attack.
- Build a united front of sovereign individuals—from Europe to Latin America, from Africa to North America—who understand that liberty cannot exist without the means to defend it.
💥 Join the Global Resistance
The disarmament of honest citizens has always been the first step of every authoritarian regime.
Instituto DEFESA has proven, in one of the most violent and politically hostile environments in the world, that freedom can fight back and win.
Now it’s time to take that fight global.
Welcome to the DEFENSE Institute.
United, we are invincible.
