It is clear that since the end of the last century, one lives a regression of rights on a global scale, reducing the coverage of the historical achievments of workers, in benefit of the free makret and the capitalist accumulation, under the dominance of financial capital and neoliberal policies, degrading life and working conditions. That context This context indicates the topicality of the subject of human rights, since the panorama of barbarism widens, indicating the need for understanding the different forms of violence coexist with unemployment, poverty and social inequality.

In Brazil, the Federal Constitution of 1998 ensures the individual and collective rights and guarantees of Brazilian citizens. The changes resulting from this legal framework contributed decisively to the recognition of human rights and citizenship in the country. However, despite of great advances stablished by the "Citizen Constitution", there is a big dichotomy between its establishment and its effectivity, between the "formal" and the "real" citizenship, since many of the fundamental rights are not respected.

In this scenery, the political subjects that assume the banner of human rights multiply. Various and different movements and organizations embody the defense of the rights of the social, ethnic, religious and gender minorities (among others), in view of the systematic violation of the rights has assumed proportions that become more alarming every time. In the combat of this vilification, startles the defense of the rights of children and adolescents, women, black people, prisoners, indigenous peoples, the right to housing, the right of access to land, to transportation, to freedom of speech, among others. Here we can also locate the interface with Social Services, whose performance focuses over the diverse expressed manifestations of the social issue, many times, in situations of obstruction and/or deprival of rights and whose coping requires the commitment to citizenship, democracy and human rights, in line with professional aspirations, both political radicalism and its ethical dimension.

The Editorial Team of Em Pauta: teoria social e realidade contemporanea recognizes, this way, that even if discussions about human rights in general, are linked to the debates on citizenship are, however, over-determined by social movements and struggles that, throughout history, confront the relations of domination and State actions that serve them as support.

In this perspective, the invitation to authors was made, so that, in this edition, they present productions that look to establish that correlation, indicating study results and researches about the advances and setbacks in the constitution of rights not only in the country, but also in global scale.

As result, the 34th edition, presents different contributions that, In view of the formulated appeal, attempt to clarify the issue of human rights and its connections with the potential of contemporary social movements and struggles for its conquest and defense. Bringing together a diverse set of contributions, are found in this number of Em Pauta, articles that turn more closely to theoretical approaches related to the subject; others that present the historical demarcation of the Brazilian reality in the sense both of the capture of marks and its social and degradation in different contexts, as also as showing ambiguities and traps placed to the debate over human rights in the country.

In sequence, there is a set of articles that mark the divisions and struggles of different minorities, also expressing the economic and political and social connections on the subject of rights and political and social subjects, in their struggles and forms of resistance.

That way, in the first articles of this edition of Em Pauta, there are contributions that intend to capture the thoretical-conceptual fundaments and also the historical determinations related to the subject of human rights. In the first article, the objective is to recover the Marxist contributions to a contribution, at present, to the problem of equality, indicating their limits in capitalism, whose centrality is in its counterpart--inequality--and the perspectives that are placed for an horizon that is truly emancipatory. In Lukacsian perspective, the second article seeks to demonstrate the fragmented way in which human rights are seen implemented and limits found in the care of more immediate vis-a-vis their role in the maintenance needs of the workforce.
