Abstract

The objective of this dissertation is to present the activities, achievements, evaluations and results achieved in the 1st Training Course for Popular Legal Promoters of the State of Tocantins (PLPs), which was held by the Women 's House 8th March in Palmas - TO , in the period from october 10, 2003 to december 10, 2004. We sought to report and safeguard the memory of one of the most important and complete training activities for women already held in the State of Tocantins. The method used for the collection of data followed the presuppositions of historical research, with a critical and feminist bias, guided by the analysis of the empowerment and emancipation of women for access to justice and living in constant debates on Human Rights. Based on a qualitative analysis of the data collected from the participants of the PLP Training Courses with the application of questionnaires and statements, the researcher was a privileged interpreter of the Participant Research, responsible for reproducing the language, words or non-words spoken by the participants. It is understood that the social and professional relevance of this dissertation is to take into account the need to expand the reach of women's Human Rights education, to describe and value the experience already existing in Tocantins, presenting its theoretical bases and practices, in addition to bringing new segments to the educational process, a new educational and instructional praxis to the Popular Legal Promoters courses in the State of Tocantins.
