Organizações sociais do terceiro setor na área da criança e do adolescente: um recorte sobre a Associação Aliança Para Um Futuro Melhor (Aliar) - Miracema do Tocantins

Abstract

The present work is a requirement of the Bachelor's Degree in Social Work and is presented in the form of a monograph. The Final Course Paper – TCC, entitled: Third Sector Social Organizations in the Area of Children and Adolescents: A Case Study on the Work of the Associação Aliança para um Futuro Melhor (ALIAR), analyzes the role of Third Sector social organizations in defending the rights of children and adolescents, based on the experience of the Associação Aliança para um Futuro Melhor (ALIAR), located in Miracema do Tocantins, Brazil. Using a qualitative approach, grounded in bibliographic review, document analysis, and supervised internship, the study seeks to understand the limitations and potential of these institutions in promoting citizenship and addressing social inequalities. The research shows that ALIAR develops actions that strengthen social ties and expand access to rights, despite structural challenges such as scarce resources and a fragile public service network. It concludes that the Third Sector can make a significant contribution; however, the guarantee of rights is a primary responsibility of the State. In this context, Social Work plays an essential role in the critical and ethical articulation of institutional practices.
