Título: Trabalho escravo contemporâneo na construção civil em João Pessoa : uma análise crítica a partir do crescimento imobiliário da capital paraibana (2015-2025) Autor(es): Ferreira, Joyce Aguiar Orientador: Morais, Hugo Berlarmino de Abstract: This study originated from a concern regarding the fight against contemporary slave labor. Its general objective was to investigate the extent to which cases of contemporary slavery in the civil construction sector of João Pessoa are linked to the real estate growth experienced by the capital of Paraíba over the last decade. To this end, specific objectives were established: to present the impacts of coloniality and the racial division of labor on modern labor relations—including contemporary human rights violations associated with slave labor; to characterize the profile of workers rescued from conditions of contemporary slavery in João Pessoa’s civil construction sector between 2015 and 2025 (analyzing factors such as origin, race, gender, and education level); and to investigate which economic sectors are most implicated in cases of contemporary slave labor in Paraíba, with a focus on the civil construction industry. Methodologically, the study employed qualitative, documentary, and exploratory research, conducted as a literature review using content analysis with thematic categorization. The research qualitatively assessed data provided by Smartlab and published accounts from labor prosecutors, testing the hypothesis that real estate growth in the greater João Pessoa area masks an expansion of contemporary slave labor exploitation. Throughout the study, conceptual divergences surrounding the topic were analyzed, examining the links between the racial division of labor, coloniality, and the characterization of labor under conditions of contemporary enslavement, while also presenting relevant legal frameworks and public policies regarding human rights in Brazil. Furthermore, to deepen the analysis, the study examined the urban growth of the capital of Paraíba and its repercussions on labor within the civil construction sector. Finally, this research addressed the hidden side of luxury, leisure, and profit within the real estate expansion of the Greater João Pessoa area between 2015 and 2025, presenting a critical analysis of the subject based on data published by Smartlab and the Public Prosecutor's Office for Labor Affairs in Paraíba.

Título: Para além do homem mau: o olhar das facilitadoras sobre a violência de gênero em grupos reflexivos Autor(es): Silva, Jully Emilly de Jesus da Orientador: Ribeiro, Luziana Ramalho Abstract: This is a dissertation submitted to the Post-graduate Program in Human Rights, Citizenship and Public Policies at the Federal University of Paraíba. It sought to understand the dynamics of violence and its relationship with gender performances, as well as the prospects for tackling it through Reflective Groups for Perpetrators of Domestic Violence (GAVDs), which take place at the Public Defender's Office, through the Special Center for the Promotion and Defense of Women's Rights (NUDEM), in João Pessoa/PB. This qualitative/exploratory research utilized a combination of bibliographical, documentary, and field research methods. It is anchored in social theories that discuss gender, masculinities, and power relations, and also provides ethical contributions to dealing with male perpetrators of domestic violence (HAVs). Drawing on the perception and experience of the groups' facilitators, the data was collected through semi- structured interviews with the aid of a voice recorder, as well as a field diary. The linguistic material was analyzed using discourse analysis (Foucault, 1999) to elucidate the layers of knowledge and power that operate in the team's discourse and practice. The profile of the perpetrators reveals that violence is deeply rooted in daily family life and naturalized gender inequalities. According to the facilitators, domestic violence is influenced by multiple factors, such as a history of prior violence, machismo/virility, difficulty in emotional management, substance abuse, and affective and financial codependency. To intervene in these patterns, the GAVDs focus on four central objectives: promoting self-knowledge and reflection on behaviors; training in emotional management through psychoeducation; teaching conflict resolution strategies; and practicing empathy, deconstructing gender stereotypes. Despite the challenges, the initiative favors reflection and accountability and proves to be more effective than the punitive justice system in dealing with domestic violence and preventing recidivism. However, greater investment by the State in structure, training, and systematic evaluation of the groups is necessary for better utilization and effectiveness of the policy.

Título: “Tudo para mulher na justiça é difícil”: atuação da Defensoria Pública do Estado da Paraíba junto a acusadas de crimes de drogas Autor(es): Pereira, Cheísa de Arroxelas Macêdo Orientador: Silva Junior, Nelson Gomes de Sant’Ana e Abstract: Between 2006 and 2025, the Brazilian prison population increased by 134%, while the number of women in prison grew by 207%, with 50% of female criminal cases related to drug offenses. This information points to the selective imprisonment of women as an impact of brazilian drug policy. In this context, the Public Defender's Office, as the institution responsible for providing comprehensive and free legal defense to vulnerable individuals, has a crucial role to play. This dissertation aims to analyze public defenders’ perceptions of the work of the Public Defender’s Office of the State of Paraíba in cases involving women accused of drug-related crimes. To achieve this objective, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 08 public defenders from the state of Paraíba who had already worked on at least one case involving a woman accused of a crime under Law Nº 11.343/2006. A total of 04 men and 04 women participated in the study, half of whom self-identified as black and the other half as white.The interviewees were mostly people over 40 years of age, who had passed a public exam and had been working as public defenders for a maximum of 10 years. Regarding the results, the defenders perceive an increase in female incarceration since Law Nº 11.343/06 came into force and affirm that the number of women accused of offenses established under this statute who are assisted by the Public Defender's Office is significant. Given this scenario, all of them prepare individualized defenses for their assisted women, but most stated that their contact with them is limited to the evidentiary and judgment hearing and that they rarely manage to present witnesses for this moment. From the defenders perspective, these women's entry into drug trafficking is multifactorial, with all of them pointing to the link with a male figure as one of these motivations. Regarding the participation of these women, most defenders indicated that they perform activities that, in the drug trafficking hierarchy, are considered subordinate and that they are criminalized for small amounts of drugs, so that most of the interviewees understand that there are differences in the criminalization processes that affect men and women, so much so that they present different defenses for them. In this vein, most stated that they knew what a gender-sensitive defense was, but only half said they drafted procedural documents along these lines. In the end, participants pointed out that the main obstacles to defending women accused of drug crimes were the Public Defender's Office's insufficient human resources, the difficulty of contacting them, and the conservative stance of the Judiciary. It can be concluded that public defenders recognize the vulnerability of women before, during, and after criminal proceedings, especially those related to drug trafficking, but that they still reproduce violent discourse toward them, in divergence with the institutional commitment, failing to exploit the institution's full transformative potential. Thus, in light of the Public Defender's Office's mission, but in view of its difficulties, the final suggestion of this dissertation was to develop a gender-sensitive assistance protocol, strategically designed at the individual and collective levels, in order to increase the chances of acquittal for these women and to combat gender discrimination in particular.

Título: Educação e Direitos Humanos: uma análise crítica da formação docente em Cabedelo/PB Autor(es): Cunha, Araceli Milma Ferreira da Orientador: Oliveira, Sidney Nilton de Abstract: This dissertation analyzes teacher training in the municipality of Cabedelo, PB, from the perspective of the legal guidelines that guide Human Rights Education (HRE). The study investigates how these guidelines are incorporated into training processes, assessing curriculum adequacy and the effectiveness of implemented policies. The methodology used consisted of documentary analysis of legislation and education plans, as well as a review of specialized literature. The results highlight significant normative advances, such as the inclusion of HRE in municipal, state, and federal legislation, but also reveal a gap between theory and practice, especially in terms of continuous teacher training. It is concluded that HRE Cabedelo/PB still faces structural and cultural challenges for its full implementation, requiring stronger public policies and the strengthening of training programs. This research provides insights to rethink teacher education based on a critical, emancipatory approach committed to democratic principles. Editor: Universidade Federal da Paraíba Tipo: Dissertação
