Migração warao e a proteção socioassistencial no município de Natal/RN

Abstract

The migratory flow of individuals and families has multidimensional causes, which have intensified in contexts of capital crisis. A process that brings with it contexts of distinct vulnerabilities, a reflection of a mode of production that has as its driving force the intensification of forms of exploitation and the lowering of the living conditions of the working class to the detriment of the increase in the rates of profit of capital, generating an increasing contingent of excluded workers. Thus, observing migration as an expression of the Social Question, starting from a discussion with a focus on the Venezuelan Warao migration – the second largest indigenous population in Venezuela – it is proposed, in this work, to analyze the Warao migration to the municipality of Natal/RN. The specific objectives are: a) to know the Warao, the historicity of their relations and the interests involved in the context of the Social Question; b) to analyze the existing migratory policy model in Brazil; and c) to identify the social policies aimed at the Warao at the municipal level and their living conditions. The discussions pointed out here are based on dialectical historical materialism, under the use of method as a means of apprehension of reality. To this end, it problematizes the relationship of imperialist capitalism — as a mode of production in its most developed phase — with the increase in the expressions of the Venezuelan Social Question and the state of humanitarian crisis in the country, which directs a greater contingent of individuals and families to the process of displacement. Regarding the methodological procedures of research, the approach is the bibliographic and documentary survey, in addition to the realization of empirical research with the professionals of the Unified Social Assistance System (SUAS) at the municipal level. The apprehensions showed that despite the efforts made by local social assistance professionals, the absence of a migration policy at the municipal level makes it impossible to effectively guarantee the fundamental rights of Warao migrants due to the improvised and emergency bias to which the demands are met, added to an overload of the social assistance policy itself, which carries the mission of filling the existing gaps
