FERNANDES, Angela Viana Machado  and  PALUDETO, Melina Casari. Education and human rights: challenges for contemporary school. Cad. CEDES [online]. 2010, vol.30, n.81, pp. 233-249. ISSN 0101-3262.  http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0101-32622010000200008.

Education focused on Human Rights is not yet part of the practice or curriculum of the Brazilian schools. In times when public and private values, and the whole society are in crisis, the issue of equality and human dignity has not only to be part of texts, but also to be internalized by anyone who works either in formal or non-formal education.
