A Lei Orgânica de assistência social e suas contribuições para a efetivação de direitos fundamentais

Abstract

This work focuses on the analysis of the post-redemocratization social protection system, with emphasis on the 1988 Federal Constitution. The Magna Carta introduced an innovative approach to the Social Order, uniting actions between Public Powers and society to guarantee rights related to health, social security and assistance. The creation of the Organic Social Assistance Law (LOAS) reflects the State's commitment to implementing the fundamental rights established in the Constitution. LOAS, enacted after the 1988 Constitution, consolidates the ideal of access to social assistance, crucial to meeting citizens' basic needs. The 1988 Constitution marks social assistance as a public policy, integrating it into social security along with health and pensions. LOAS emerges as a fundamental pillar to guarantee the right to social assistance in Brazil, addressing social inequalities, poverty and vulnerability. This work analyzes the impacts of LOAS on the promotion of fundamental rights, aiming to reduce social inequalities.
