Promotion and Protection of Human Rights of Migrants and Refugees: Theoretical-practical foundations of the Migraidh at UFSM

Abstract

Established in 2013 within the scope of the Federal University of Santa Maria, Migraidh, Human Rights and International Human Mobility, bases its theoretical and practical work on the recognition of the human right to migrate, of the subject and subject of rights and assumes international migration as a “total social fact”. Psychosocially structured in the field of exclusion/denial that constitutes the nation-state, human subjectivity and social institutions, international migration represents one of the great challenges of human rights. This text addresses the theoretical-practical performance of Migraidh, supported by the Freirian-inspired “Meeting with the Other” methodology as a “knowing search”, recognition, and the implications for practical responses located in two dimensions: political-legal and psychosocial.
