O trabalho no CREAS: desnaturalizando as desigualdades sociorraciais e de gênero no serviço de medida socioeducativa em meio aberto na cidade do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The present work addresses how the technical teams of Specialized Social Assistance Reference Center (CREAS) from the city of Rio de Janeiro have been carrying out the work, facing the socio-racial and gender inequalities, in the Socio-educational Measures Service (MSE) in an Open Environment. It problematizes the asymmetric relations of power between CREAS and other institutions that make up this field of study - Judiciary, Public Prosecutor's Office and Public Defender's Office - and their relationship with the social markers of race, gender and social class among those involved in carrying out the execution of the MSE in an Open Environment - Judges, Prosecutors, Public Defenders, higher education professionals working in CREAS, adolescents and young people. The investigation takes place through the description of the work process, case reports and responses to demands sent to the teams. The research field was constituted from the insertion and observations accumulated over 12 years of professional practice, both in management and in technical team, in CREAS of three different territories of the city, Downtown, North and West Zones, where little has been problematized and related to asymmetry in relations of power and social markers of those who apply, monitor and comply with MSE in an Open Environment. For this discussion, concepts such as whiteness were used - Priscila Elisabete da Silva and Lourenço Cardoso, Cida Bento, as well as Mara Viveros Vigoya and Lia Vainer Schucman; intersectionality, with Kimberlé Crenshaw, Patrícia Hill Collins and Sirma Bilge, and authors who break with the colonizing perspective, such as Grada Kilomba, bell hooks, Lilia Schwarcz, Liv Sovik, Sueli Carneiro, among others. The research was also based on institutional analysis, on the concepts of analysis of implications and over-implication, with reference to René Lourau, Gilles Monceau, Cecília Coimbra and Maria Lívia do Nascimento. The research made it possible to understand the concepts which led to the construction of the first policies for childhood and youth, and how they have been updated in Brazil, highlighting the contradiction between what is prescribed in the Child and Adolescent Statute and how they have been implemented and executed in practice. Its relevance lies in realizing the possibility of social changes, based on the recognition of inequalities as structures of Brazilian society, and the importance of critical action in the face of their materialization in the daily work of CREAS, where professionals mediate the relations between the State and population.
