Abstract

Citizenship, human rights and diversity are subjects of urgent debates in societies seeking to consolidate democratic advances. Human rights and citizenship are historical, therefore, contextual. Consequently, the dissemination of citizenship rights based on the recognition of political, social, civil and cultural rights is interdependent on multiple social configurations. It was the aforementioned perspectives that guided the implementation of  the “Reference Center for Citizenship and Human Rights”, in the micro-region of Bico do Papagaio, in the extreme north of the state of Tocantins. The region, marked by ethnic and racial diversity, also presents high levels of social vulnerability, which allows us some reflections on the role of public institutions as promoters of citizenship and human rights, specifically regarding the guarantee and advances related to gender and combating violence against women.
