News of the parade sparked outrage on social media, prompting organisers to defend the event, saying none of the children had been forced to participate.

A parade of adoptable children held in a Brazilian shopping center drew condemnation Thursday, with some comparing the event to the sale of animals or slaves.

The parade — organized by the local chapters of the Brazil Bar Association’s Childhood and Youth Commission and the Adoption Research and Support Association — was held in the Pantanal shopping mall in the capital Cuiaba. “It’s a night for potential adopters to get to know the kids and teens. The population can have more information about adoption and the children themselves will have a special day in which they will get done up for the parade.”

But the bar association said the photo was taken during a previous “Adoption on the Catwalk” event in 2016.
