Papel das políticas estatais no acolhimento humanizado e participativo dos imigrantes: estudo do Programa Estadual de Atenção ao Migrante, Refugiado e Enfrentamento ao Tráfico de Pessoas (PEAMRETP)

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of the State Program for Migrant, Refugee, and Human Trafficking Prevention (PEAMRETP) in the State of Ceará, aiming to move beyond mere reception to promote the integration, protection, and dignity of refugees and migrants. The research highlights the importance of humanizing the process and addresses challenges such as the urgency of circumstances, communication with multidisciplinary teams, and cultural and linguistic barriers. The methodology adopted was qualitative, as described by Gil (2021), allowing for an interpretative understanding of the experiences and meanings attributed by those involved. The study combined bibliographic analysis and semi-structured interviews, following the exploratory and interpretative approach proposed by Cervo and Bervian (2002). This approach was crucial for understanding participants' perspectives and formulating significant hypotheses for future studies. Additionally, the research included an extensive bibliographic review of relevant sources such as the “International Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards for Humanitarian Response,” as well as studies on the effectiveness of PEAMRETP (Lima, 2022), participation in humanitarian action evaluations (Morais, 2020), and public policy on immigration and refugee (Nogueira, 2021). These materials helped identify key theories and concepts related to the topic. Findings indicate that although PEAMRETP aims to empower refugees and immigrants, it faces resistance in information dissemination and effective policy implementation. Ensuring human rights is urgent for refugees to rebuild their lives with dignity. Despite changes over the years, the program still primarily focuses on reception and regularization. Therefore, it is necessary to review and improve the program to better meet the needs of refugees and immigrants in the implementation of new decrees.
