Ações e estratégias de políticas públicas para o enfrentamento da exploração do trabalho infantil nos meios de comunicação no marco da teoria da proteção integral aos direitos da criança e do adolescente.

Abstract

This thesis' object of research is the consolidation of actions and strategies on public policies directed at fighting child labour in communication vehicles under the frame of the Child and Teenager Rights' integral protection theory. The choice of such theme reveals both a concern and a compromise with the integral protection accomplishment and with an absolute priority in guaranteeing child and teenager fundamental rights. This investigation aims to establish guidelines on the consolidation of actions and strategies on public policies as a strategy for tackling child labour exploitation in media vehicles. Such confrontation must take into consideration the specific legal and normative regulations directed at this kind of labour as well as to articulate the actions with the competences of Brazil's System to Guarantee the Rights of Children and Teenagers composing agencies. Child labour is a violation of fundamental and human rights, as well as an affront to the human dignity principle, the Brazilian legal system's ultimate vector. Once the child labour exploitation in communication vehicles is diagnosed, it is necesary to search for alternative strategies in order to confront it. Therefore, the research problem which guided this study is: how to prevent and ultimately erradicate child labour in communication vehicles as a means of guaranteeing fundamental child and teenager rights? An hypothetic-deductive method is used to accomplish the investigation and a monographic procedural method is adopted. This theme's analysis went through the Child and Teenager Rights' integral protection's theoretical rationale, the causes and consequences of child labour in communication vehicles, the System to Guarantee the Rights' performance and the alternative approaches in tackling child labour in communication vehicles.
