Abstract

OLIVEIRA, Janaine Voltolini de. Crossing borders and barriers: a look at the challenges of displacement of Venezuelan children and adolescents in Roraima - Brazil. Desidades [online]. 2021, n.30, pp. 124-141. ISSN 2318-9282.

The complex and multifaceted reality of international migration reveals enormous challenges that directly impact the lives of children and adolescents, especially the most vulnerable, and demand, from the constituted powers and civil society, urgent responses in the face of the numerous human rights violations that these people experience. In this sense, this study discusses the circumstances of forced displacement and care, especially in health, education and social assistance (reception) policies for Venezuelan children and adolescents who reside in Brazil, specifically in the state of Roraima. This research is of an empirical nature, supported by public documents from governmental and non-governmental agencies, in addition to the reading, cataloging and archiving of news from local, regional, and national newspapers on the subject. In addition to the many advances achieved in relation to ensuring the full protection of children and adolescents, there is still a long way to go.

Keywords : human rights; childhood; migration; refuge; protection.
