O Terceiro Setor e os Direitos da Criança e do Adolescente: um estudo sobre a atuação da ONG Visão Mundial no Estado do Rio de Janeiro

Abstract

The present work deals with the Third Sector and the rights of children and adolescents, focusing on the analysis of the performance of the NGO Visão Mundial Brasil in the State of Rio de Janeiro as a civil society organization of private and nonprofit rights that develops programs and projects for the defense and promotion of children's rights. With a view to understanding the NGO 's role as an institution that makes up the so-called Third Sector, we aim, in a bulletin, to reflect on the State crisis and the neoliberal adjustment as essential historical and political components for the growth of the Third Sector in the 1990s and for transfer state social responsibilities for this new social actor. Then we seek to rescue the trajectory of childcare in Brazilian society, which historically has always been linked to a relationship of dependence and transfer to other institutions, most of them of a religious nature. We conclude with an empirical analysis of the performance of the NGO World Vision in the State of Rio de Janeiro through the implementation and implementation of programs and projects aimed at the children and youth population, bringing elements on the form of management, financing and operationalization of this organization through programs and projects that reaffirm their commitment to the defense of the rights and protection of children and adolescents, as provided in the Statute. However, despite all the work developed from the perspective of inclusion and participation of children and adolescents in the implemented projects, and that the services provided by such associations are often the only ones developed in determined contexts, in no way, the performance of O NGOs and other associations that makes up the so-called Third Sector must be replaced by State intervention.
