YAGIU, Hailton    CASTRO-SILVA, Carlos Roberto. Social participation and empowerment in vulnerable communities: scoping review. Rev. psicol. polít. []. 2023, 23, 56, pp.227-243.   27--2024. ISSN 2175-1390.

This research aimed to investigate the state of knowledge about social participation and empowerment in vulnerable social contexts. Method: scoping review according to Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI). Guiding question: Can participatory processes contribute to the empowerment and promotion of citizenship in vulnerable communities? The thirteen articles analyzed are national and international, published from 2001 to 2019. The results present the main characteristics of these studies. The discussion points out the complexity of the articulation between participation and empowerment, indicating its potential when considering the different historical and social contexts and the bonds between subjects and the community. Having as its horizon the strengthening of rights and citizenship, it reveals the difficulties faced by the participatory movements, the absence of mechanisms for exercising the condition of citizens and the consequences of the selectivity of the State for the urban peripheries.
