Contribuição da intervenção do assistente social na mitigação das uniões prematuras: estudo de caso do distrito de Katembe – Chamissava (2018-2023)

Abstract

The present work seeks to analyze the contribution of social worker intervention in mitigating premature unions: case study in the district of katembe – chamissava (2018-2023). The research is qualitative in nature because it made it possible to analyze the data in the form of interactions and behavioral values to better understand the social issue under analysis. As for the objective, we opted for a descriptive study. Regarding data collection techniques, we used semi-structured interviews, social studies and simple observation. In relation to the theoretical framework, we resorted to Marxist theory, on social inequalities and the State's non-intervention in social policies consistently. It is important to highlight that during the research, it was found that the practice of premature unions has shown that certain factors, such as poverty, lack of education, unemployment, orphanhood, vulnerability, social exclusion and social inequalities are influenced by the existence of this problem. With the study, we identified the consequences and causes of the practice in the Municipal district of Katembe. We characterize the implications of premature unions in the lives of girls and their families and present the mechanisms and strategies that Social Workers implement in favor of their well-being. Therefore, the role of the Social Worker is concerned with ensuring the well-being and social security of all girls affected by this problem.
