FRANCA, Rômulo Ataides; RAMOS, Wilsa Maria  and  MONTAGNER, Maria Inez. Mapping public policies for refugees in Brazil. Estud. pesqui. psicol. [online]. 2019, vol.19, n.1, pp. 89-106. ISSN 1808-4281.

Faced with the arrival of refugee immigrants to Brazil, there is concern about the scope of the public policies established for the reception of these people in the country. A documentary and literature reviews were carried out to map the legislation and documents of institutional bodies on refugees and the academic production on the thematic axes public policies, health and xenophobia in the period between 2007 and 2017. No results were found for Brazilian articles on refugees and xenophobia, the lack of broad public policies was an aspect diagnosed by the productions related to health and public policies. The problem of forced migration tends to reach Brazil more and more, this study can contribute to the sophistication of the legislative and social structures to deal with the proper reception of refugees in Brazil.

Keywords : refugees; public policies; vulnerability; health.
