This article aims to analyze the living conditions that preceded the incarceration in Socio-Educational Units (USEs) of adolescents and young people who were child laborers. A qualitative study was carried out with 30 socio-educational students serving a restriction or deprivation of liberty measure in three northeastern states. Questionnaires were used to investigate: biosociodemographic characteristics, objective living conditions, the presence/ absence of child labor, the trajectory of child labor and involvement in acts typified as infractions that resulted in the socio-educational measure. The data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results show that the objective living conditions of the participants are marked by the failure of the state to offer effective public policies that guarantee their fundamental rights. The state is only present in the lives of these adolescents and young people to apply punitive measures such as incarceration in USEs.
This article analyzes the challenges posed to the comprehensive protection of children and adolescents with chronic health conditions, given the precariousness of social policies driven by the capital crisis and the rise of neoliberal ideology, leading to restricted access to programs, benefits, and services within the intersectoral network for the population. In this context, the reduction of the State's role in guaranteeing access to rights tends to increase the responsibilities placed on families. The debate on the work of social service professionals, intersectorality, comprehensive care, and multidisciplinary work is part of this study, reflecting on strategies aimed at improving the quality of life of children and adolescents by ensuring access to and continuity of treatment. Methodologically, bibliographical and documentary research was used, with a critical Marxist perspective as the analytical framework. The results point to the urgent need to strengthen the collective struggle to defend the realization of rights.
The aim of this article is to discuss the judicialization of the right to family life and the (re)actualization of the compulsory removal of children and adolescents from their families. It seeks to overcome an endogenous analysis of child and adolescent care, addressing the issue from the structural conditions of capitalism. It is understood that the removal of children and adolescents from their families expresses mechanisms of control and violence that have permeated Brazilian history since colonization, and are updated in accordance with social transformations and legal frameworks. It is concluded that the judicialization of the right to family life, which derives from a supposedly neutral legal analysis of the family’s (in)capacity to provide care for children and adolescents, is assumed as a strategy for guiding public policy aimed at children, adolescents, and poor families. This process produces and reproduces multiple forms of violence against this population, marked by class, gender, and race/ethnicity.
In this study, we aim to analyze the content published on the Instagram profiles of federal deputies Erika Hilton and Duda Salabert. The data collection occurred over a 14-day period, totaling 37 posts. For the conceptual framework of this study, specifically in the treatment of gender and transsexualities, we draw upon the social perspective (SCOTT, 1995), (SAFFIOTI, 2001), (TORRES, 2015), (NASCIMENTO, 2023). Regarding discussions on digital social networks, we rely on the concept of social connections facilitated by the internet and other technologies (RECUERO, 2009, 2012), (CASTELLS, 2013). Methodologically, we employed Content Analysis (BARDIN, 1977, 2016), and as a result, we formulated three categories based on the corpus: Social Causes, Electoral Campaign, and Parliamentary Work. Furthermore, we observed that the content disseminated by the deputies features descriptive, informational, and sociopolitical characteristics related to their parliamentary function. The analyzed content also indicated the intersection of prejudices and sociopolitical confrontations due to the gender identity of the parliamentarians.
This article analyzes the field of disabilities in the production of educational circuits that strain the enforcement of the rights of children with disabilities provided for the Estatuto da Criança e do Adolescente (ECA). It is a theoretical study, of a bibliographic and documentar nature, based on the analysis of the ECA, legislation, and public educational policies related to special education and academic production. Based on critical studies of disability, the Latin American decolonial perspective, and Foucault’s analysis of power-knowledge, it is argued that social policies, especially education, act as devices of regulation rather than emancipation. Schooling, permeated by the logic of inclusion as a conditionality, becomes a vector of normalization. The agencies between the state and civil society, mediated rights councils, guardianship councils, agreements, specialized services, and income transfer programs, express disputes over who is eligible as a subject of rights, reaffirming the centrality of the medical model in forms of social protection.
Starting from the question of how CAPSis can care for vulnerable children and adolescents, this cartographic experience report aimed to share the construction of knowledge and the production of woven care practices within a university-based CAPSi, considering social intersections and current public policies, with the ECA (Statute of the Child and Adolescent) as one of the guiding frameworks. Through a cartographic approach—drawing on historical recovery, the daily work of professional bodies, and micropolitical analysis—this report highlights certain events in the world of care, shaped by the production and contestation of actors and narratives. We observed that it is through play, through personal hygiene care, and through food that children and adolescents can recover their life histories, present their support networks, and express other needs. This, in turn, enables CAPSi teams to build and strengthen bonds, activate other components of the SGDCA, and forge care practices that are Black-informed and co-responsibilized.
In this article, I discuss the issue of the climate crisis with a special focus on ongoing climate change and its connections with the rights of children and youth. The analysis has as a starting point the fact that significant progress has been made in Brazil on children´s rights with the adoption of a human rights framework in legislation and public policies, especially since the enactment of the Statute of the Child and Adolescent. However, a significant gap remains regarding the right to live on an ecologically balanced and healthy planet. One of the main arguments is the importance of including children and young people in debates and actions on climate change and the imperative to consider the commitment and the responsibility we adults have towards the present and future generations.
The article aims to present how the policy for the use of Information andCommunication Technologies (ICTs) under the current educational administration ofSão Paulo and the process of disseminating disinformation associated with the politicalconstruction of Tarcísio de Freitas align with Bolsonarist references. To achieve this, inaddition to engaging with academic literature, a documentary analysis of the govern- ment plan and measures related to education and ICTs implemented by the adminis- tration was conducted. Statements by the current governor of São Paulo were alsoselected to position him within the far-right’s disinformation strategy. It is argued thatthe deepening of “platformization” and the use of ICTs, conducted in an uncritical andauthoritarian manner, along with the spread of disinformation, are key components ofTarcísio’s political agenda. These policies have worsened teachers’ working conditionsand exacerbated the dismantling of social ties and human connections essential forlearning in the school environment.
The article aims to identify the trend taken by the state of Espírito Santo inthe financing of mental health actions and services (2009-2021), considering how thisfinancing does or does not materialize the guidelines established within the manage- ment instruments and whether or not it guarantees out-of-hospital and community- -based services and actions, as defined in the mental health policy. This is a documen- tary study, with a mixed approach, and the Espírito Santo State Health Department asthe locus of the research. Among the resources that could be identified, the fundingtrend was concentrated in hospital institutions (57.50%). In out-of-hospital services,funding for Therapeutic Residences accounted for 23.70% of resources. For medicines,the allocation was 18.80%. The results point to a trend towards an increase in stateresources for mental health after the state joined the Psychosocial Care Network, al- though it is still centered on the manicomial logic.
Having access to daily and secure food is a necessary condition for conservation and the existence of human dignity under any circumstance. In that way, facing this truth, this work aimed to analyze how the human right to adequate food is violated in Rio Grande do Norte state’s prison system under the National Mechanism of Prevention and Fight against Torture (NMPFT). Methodologically, this is research of a qualitative nature, which starts from documental and bibliographical research. In the generated results, we are aware of the many violations present in the prison system of Rio Grande do Norte, highlighting the realities of the public prison of Dinorá Simas Lima Deodato in Ceará Mirim city and in the state prison Dr. Francisco Fernandes - Alcaçuz, being these violations related to the food regime one of the most hurting to the human dignity of these institutions assisted person.
This article aims to analyze how the privatization of health is expressed through Non-Profit Organizations that act as providers of oncology services in the city of Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte. The research deals with a bibliographic and documentary study, with a quantitative-qualitative approach, based on the light of critical social theory. The results pointed to the deepening of the privatization process of the SUS through Civil Society Organizations, which are expanding rapidly in the field of health, supported to a large extent with resources from the public fund. In the city of Natal, philanthropic organizations have historically offered oncology services, however, they have consolidated and structured themselves in the market based on SUS regulation. Its expansion results from the commercialization of health, the outsourcing of SUS services and resources and tax incentives from the State.
Foster care is internationally recognized as the most appropriate measure for the development of vulnerable children and adolescents, when compared to institutional care. This documentary research analyzed the Foster Care Service in Brazil based on data from the 2022 SUAS Census. Thirty questions selected from the census questionnaire were organized in a spreadsheet, segmented into three axes: general characterization of the services, profile of foster and origin families, and development of services. The main results showed that only 6% of children in foster care in the coun- try are in foster families, with a greater concentration in the South and Southeast regions. Among the weaknesses identified, the lack of regulation in 0.9% of the services, the lack of provisional custody terms in 13.6% of the cases analyzed and the overload of the teams in 62.2% of them stand out. This scenario reinforces the need for greater regulation, financial support and professional training in order to enhance the positive effects associated with the foster care policy.
Rural working women dedicate themselves to domestic and family activities, and their work is considered complementary or supportive to their husbands. In order to characterize the experiences of women living in the rural area of Prudentópol-PR, we conducted a qualitative, exploratory research that included interviews with five women. The study demonstrates the particularity of domestic and care work in rural areas and the women’s perceptions their lives. The space of family farming is marked by gender social relations, where the gender division of labor is natural in family life. Women have extended work hours, engaging in domestic, care, and fieldwork activities. Meanwhile, men contribute little or nothing to reproductive, dedicating themselves entirely to fieldwork. Consequently, the reproductive work carried out by women is invisible and undervalued, despite being essential for life to unfold.
This article aims to characterize how the bodynormative division of labour under capitalism conditions the lives of transplant patients. To this end, it highlights the stigmatization and division of labour in relation to capitalist bodynormativity, as well as pointing out the impact of these processes on the lives of transplant patients. This theoretical,qualitative, dialectical study, based on documentary and bibliographical research, demonstrates the interrelationship of ontological categories, composing critical syntheses that are fundamental to understanding how bodynormative dynamics, under capitalism, engender the social insidiousness that falls on transplanted people. As a result, the bodynormative division of labour is characterized, an intrinsic body-class oppression of capitalist commodification that is sometimes invisibilized as oppression of bodies taxed as deviant, which encompasses and directly impacts the transplanted person.
The study discusses the production of care in Mental Health work, in the context of the Psychosocial Care Network, in small municipalities in Piauí, Brazil, to understand the perspective of analysis of professionals who are protagonists in the production of care and managers in Mental Health care in the Psychosocial Care Network equipment in the municipalities of Jaicós and Paulistana, in the Chapada Vale do Itaim Development Territory - PI. Due to the health conditions resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic, which crossed the research context and the world, remote technology was used to carry out the focus groups and interviews. The text points out some of the challenges of this process, such as caring in freedom and strengthening the network. As potentialities, it points out the relationship and participation of the family in the Psychosocial Care Center, as essential for the psychosocial rehabilitation of users.
The aggravations related to the women ́s imprisonment should be recognized, especially in mixed prisons, where gender differences are disregarded. This article aims to describe the conditions for the execution of the custodial sentence of women in a Brazilian mixed prison and the impacts on their subjectivation ́s process and mental health. A qualitative study was carried out, in which discussions around the oral narratives of eight participants were presented, identifying the singularities of their trajectories and articulating the narratives to the historical-political cultural factors that cross them. The histories of deprivation of liberty, the family and affective-sexual bonds of the participants, the conditions for serving the sentence and life in prison were explored. Barriers to ensure the preservation of bonds were identified, as well as inhumane and unhealthy conditions in the investigated prison. Their effects on participants’ subjectivation ́s process and mental health underline the need for reforms in the penal system.
The present study introduces reflections on the Social Determinants of Health and their impacts on the treatment of children from the riverside of Marajó hospitalized at the Santa Casa de Misericórdia do Pará Foundation. This research, approved by the Ethics Committee/Plataforma Brasil, under opinion 5,381,235, is of a exploratory type, in which we carried out bibliographical, documental and field research. Based on this study and on what is recommended by federal law 8.080/90 and by the National Policy for Integral Attention to Children’s Health - PNAISC, we observe that it is not exactly the existence of social determinants that hinders the access to health services for these children, but the failure to understand and include them, when thinking about and implementing differentiated public policies, that could embrace the specificities present in the Marajó region.
