A diáspora venezuelana para o estado do Maranhão: as políticas públicas desenvolvidas no estado para tutelar os direitos dos refugiados venezuelanos

Abstract

The migratory flow occurs when a person or a group of people feels or is under threat. The recent case of Venezuela is an example of a migratory crisis where many left the country and headed to Brazil, then started a new pilgrimage within Brazil, spreading across the Brazilian states. Part of this population disembarked in the State of Maranhão, when they arrive they are faced with an unfavorable scenario, with few social incentives to maintain their rights. As a result, it was questioned which public policies the Federal Government, the Government of Maranhão and the Municipalities of Maranhão has adopted to insert Venezuelan refugees in the social environment of Maranhão. In this way, the present work aims to discuss the scenarios that Venezuelan refugees are allowed within the State of Maranhão to adapt to the local society. To do so, it was necessary to understand what the social rights of refugees are and how Brazil works on these rights; to then understand the Venezuelan migration towards the State of Maranhão; finally, study the public policies developed by the Public Power of Maranhão. Methodologically, an exploratory and qualitative research was carried out, in order to dimension the phenomenon of the migration of refugees within Maranhão and the work of the State in the reception of these people, using the survey of bibliographical research, to support the arguments raised.
