XIV Conferência Estadual de Assistência Social do Amazonas: participação, desafios e perspectivas

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The article aims to analyze the participation process, the challenges and the perspectives present in the particularity of the XIV State Conference on Social Assistance in Amazonas. This is an exploratory research, sequenced in two phases: bibliographic review and documentary research. In the case of the latter, the central document was the Final Report of the aforementioned event. The results indicate that implementing/implementing the Assistance Policy in the North region is an uninterrupted challenge, and the conferences allow the actors that compose it to become a real mechanism of struggle, in order to give voice to those who feel the weight of the daily reality of making rights viable and, above all, to make them heard and to make them echo in the rest of Brazil. In light of the arguments, the Conferences are essential for guaranteeing citizens' rights, since the population of Amazonas deserves to live with full dignity.
