Conectas, in partnership with other organizations, has presented amici curiae briefs in support of the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (ADI) 4277 and the Allegation of Violation of Fundamental Precepts (ADPF) 132/RJ, which gave conditions to the recognition of same-sex union. As a result of the decision of the Brazilian Supreme Court, same-sex couples now enjoy the same rights that were previously restricted to heterosexual unions, such as those related to alimony, inheritance and the inclusion of a dependent in a health insurance plan.

In April 29th, Conectas Human Rights and the Brazilian Interdisciplinary AIDS Association (ABIA) organized the seminar "Access to Medicines in Brazil: Drug Registration, Patents and Bills of Law", in São Paulo, in which the organizations presented the preliminary results of two researches developed throughout 2010 with the support of the Ministry of Health and UNESCO.
