Operação Acolhida: uma análise perante os compromissos assumidos no Plano Nacional de Ação sobre Mulheres, Paz e Segurança (2019-2023)

Abstract

The Brazilian National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security was created in 2017 as a way of internalizing the external commitments made by Brazil within the framework of the United Nations (UN). The Plan belongs to one of the objectives established by the UN Women, Peace and Security Agenda, which establishes the guidelines to be followed by countries belonging to the Organization and guides how the gender issue should be included in peace and security issues. In order to try to identify whether the objectives of the National Action Plan were being put into practice, it was decided to have an object of study for this research: Operation Welcome. This operation was created by the federal government due to the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela, which caused thousands of Venezuelans to migrate to Brazil, requiring an operation to receive immigrants and refugees. So, in order to try to verify whether the objectives of the Action Plan have been implemented, this research proposes the following question: to what extent are the external commitments made by Brazil in the National Action Plan on Women, Peace and Security reflected in the gender actions implemented by Operation Welcome? To find this answer, a table was created based on five concepts that were used as a metric to measure the degree of compatibility between the Plan and the Operation. Each concept encompasses the objectives of the Action Plan and the table was divided by simple percentage, with 17 indicators. The hypothesis was that there was a harmonization between the document and the humanitarian operation, in other words, a shallow articulation. The hypothesis initially proposed, however, was not confirmed by the data analyzed. There is coordination between the Plan and the operation, which translates into adequate coordination. The research is divided into three chapters. The first introduces the history of the feminist movement and feminist theories, putting them in context with the UN agenda for women. The second chapter aims to detail the actions carried out in Operation Welcome for women, introducing the humanitarian crisis in Venezuela and its regulatory framework. The final chapter begins by criticizing the Brazilian documents and presents the results of the research using a table created to measure the degree of compatibility between the Plan and the Operation.
