Medidas protetivas asseguradas à criança: um estudo sobre a instituição governamental lar Ciã Katuá, em Macapá-Amapá

Abstract

Children and adolescents are subjects of rights in Brazil today, and are not necessarily trained to demand that these rights be realized. Problems related to children and adolescents must be prioritized by the government, family and society at large. The general objective of this research was to analyze if the protective measures provided to children from 0 to 12 years are being applied by the government institution Lar Ciã Katuá, in Macapá-Amapá. Specifically we sought to consider the importance of education in the field and protection for children and youth; identify the actions taken by Ciã Katuá Home to ensure protection measures for children from 0 to 12 years old; and Discuss the challenges facing Lar Ciã Katuá regarding its protective actions applied to children from 0 to 12 years old. It was a case study with bibliographic and field research, using the descriptive method, with quantitative and qualitative approach. It was found that the work developed by Lar Ciã Katuá Shelter serves children from various parts of the state of Amapá, especially the rural area, where there is a marked lack of public policies that favor the education and support of these children. Therefore, it is necessary that this type of work has the full support of the state and be able to expand public policies for this type of demand, in order to solve a serious social problem, which is the helplessness of young children, who need have your rights guaranteed by law, as this phase is the most delicate and important for your character and personality formation.
