In the current context, the spread of fake news and disinformation emerges as a threat to the integrity of democratic pillars. Recurring for centuries, the advent of the internet and the proliferation of fake news have increased prejudice, violence, denialism and the erosion of rights, including the right to vaccination. In the Brazilian context, fake news inflamed political conflicts during the pandemic, inciting the mass dissemination of false information, exacerbating intolerance and undermining the credibility of institutions, health professionals and the educational system. Therefore, this research project aimed to study whether and how misinformation violates the rights of children and adolescents, through an exploratory qualitative approach, the use of bibliometric research methods, as well as updated information sources. The content analysis demonstrated the key strategies and motivations for vaccine hesitancy, confirming the hypothesis that there was a violation of rights in the Brazilian context, especially the right to health for children and young people in situations of poverty.

The research investigated the execution of the precautionary measure of provisional internment of adolescents in the Federal District (DF, Brazil), considering its potential to contribute to the guarantee of rights and social protection of adolescents, in contrast to the historical emphasis on punishment, repression, and rights violations observed in the Brazilian socio-educational system. The general objective was to map the main suggestions for psychosocial referrals and the application of socio-educational measures and/or protective measures listed in the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (SCA) in provisional internment reports, considering the guarantee of adolescent rights. The history of institutional detention of adolescents in Brazil was presented; protective measures and socio-educational measures; an overview of provisional internment in the socio-educational system; and who are the adolescents in the Brazilian socio-educational system. The research articulated contributions from Cultural Psychology, sociocultural perspective on adolescence, precariousness of life, and necropolitics. Adolescents who experienced provisional internment in the DF were interviewed, and reports from two provisional internment units in the DF were analyzed, using thematic analysis. The results indicated that the profile of adolescents in provisional internment was of Black individuals, residents of peripheral areas, cisgender, heterosexual, with low levels of education, low income, engaged in informal, precarious and/or illegal labor, belonging to large families and exposed to various social vulnerabilities, precariousness, and rights violations, with limited access to public policies. The reports demanded little attention from the Child and Adolescent Rights Guarantee System, and there were few mentions of referrals to other public policies or suggestions for the application of socio-educational measures and/or protective measures, especially in the case of boys. The lack of qualified and coordinated public policies, capable of providing effective psychosocial support to strengthen the families and communities of adolescents was evident. Adolescents highlighted the omission of public policies and violence perpetrated by public agents, especially from public security agents. The state intervenes in the lives of these adolescents to punish them through deprivation of liberty, instead of protecting them throughout their development. Adolescents narrate being recruited into the criminal world due to the precariousness of their lives, state neglect, and domestic, community, and structural violence. It was concluded that provisional internment, as it has been implemented, has not consistently followed the principles of brevity and exceptionality present in the SCA. It is argued that action in provisional internment should be based on intersectorality with other public policies and dialogical interventions that are socioculturally contextualized in the reality of adolescents. The need for protective policies that promote social protection and guarantee rights for adolescents in provisional internment in the Brazilian socio-educational system is emphasized, understood as subjects in a peculiar phase of development and subjects of law.

This study aimed to unveil professionalization in the socio-educational system. The development of the study involved a historical investigation into professionalization and social-education, the analysis of relevant legislation on the subject, and the exploration of data from semi-structured interviews conducted with managers and young people who have completed socio-educational measures in the Federal District. Professional education is advocated in the Law of Guidelines and Bases of National Education, and the right to professionalization is guaranteed to adolescents and young people in the Federal Constitution and the Statute of the Child and Adolescent. In this sense, professionalization becomes important in the execution of socio-educational measures of internment, as it is not only a right of young people, but the vocational activities offered during the fulfillment of the socio-educational measure, intentionally and addressing the interests of young people, can be an opportunity to outline new life projects. The methodological approach included an integrative review to identify and analyze the contributions of bibliographic production on professionalization offered to adolescents undergoing socio-educational measures in Brazil, from 2019 to 2023, and the results indicated that professionalization in the context of socio-educational measures has progressed in legislative terms but still faces obstacles to effective and successful implementation. The study also included field research through semi-structured interviews conducted with young people who have completed socio-educational measures and managers working in the Socio-Educational System of the Federal District. Data were analyzed through thematic analysis. The main results identified the need to establish in the Individualized Socio-educational Plan (ISP) of adolescents and young people their life project throughout the socio-educational measure, aiming at their integral development, with emphasis on the completion of studies and engagement in vocational training programs aligned with their interests, aiming at their future insertion into the labor market. However, there are still several challenges, such as the scarcity of opportunities for vocational courses, discriminatory practices, and excluding selection criteria for these young people. However, there are prospects for improvement in the qualification offered in socio-education, especially through the improvement of interpersonal relationships, the implementation of courses that arouse the interest of young people, and mainly the establishment of guidelines for the professionalization axis. It is hoped that the results obtained through the research can contribute to the improvement of existing theoretical foundations and the development of new strategies and guidelines in public policy programs aimed at young people undergoing socio-educational measures. It is believed that this study can contribute by bringing visibility to the issue of the right to professionalization in socio-education.
