A (in)observância dos direitos fundamentais da crianças e adolescentes em situação de rua

Abstract

The humanization of law is an urgent appeal, which requires legal action and research in response to situations that represent a risk to fundamental rights, in particular the principle of human dignity, a principle that, although constitutionally established, is often disrespected and not observed. In this context, attention needs to be paid to one of the most vulnerable groups, street children and adolescents whose susceptibility to non-observance of their rights, calls for clear and precise interventions. Thus, for the development of this scientific work, it is intended to clarify the mechanisms of protection for children and adolescents provided for in the Brazilian legal system. It seeks to highlight whether there is specific normative forecast for the protection of street children and adolescents, and also to highlight the fundamental rights deprived in this situation. The purpose is to explain the reasons why children and adolescents seek the streets, as well as to investigate the existence and extent of existing public policies to address the issue. The intention is to clarify the mechanisms of protection for children and adolescents provided for in the Brazilian legal system.
