The social issues in Rio Grande do Norte require actions of social assistance policy to specific needs of rural contexts. To access at the social assistance services, especially for those who live in remote places, has still been an obstacle for this social policy, requiring social control for its enforcement. This study aimed to analyze the demands on rural contexts for social assistance in the state. The proposals from 161 cities were systematized for the IX Social Assistance State Conference (2013). Although markedly rural, the emphasis on these issues is recent and little discussed. The urban concentration of social assistance equipment and precarious work conditions into social policies impede people in rural contexts to access social rights. Institutionalized instance of social control, the conferences have served to denounce inequalities rooted in social reality and ways to minimize them, not overcome them.

Keywords : Social policy; Social control; Social assistancepolicy.
