Juventude e mundos-da-vida: a luta por direitos à participação, à sustentabilidade e ao meio ambiente

The Statute of Youth (O Estatuto da Juventude) (Law No. 12,852/2013) is to ensure the fundamental rights of young people, such as education, health, culture, work, but also new rights such as the right to social participation, the territory, free sexual orientation, sustainability and the environment. Moreover, this article is intended to address the theme of rights to participation and the environment as fundamental rights of young people and the challenges they present in the work of the Social Work. Thus, importance is given to the spaces in which young people can participate and develop appropriate and compatible forms with the fundamentals of political ecology.
