Abstract

This research is a study on the role of the Public Defender's Office of the State of Piauí as an instrument for mitigating homelessness, based on a reflection on the fight for the protection of Fundamental Rights. The research was carried out through a bibliographic review of academic works, analysis of legal documents, institutional reports and dissertations that address the theme of the defense's role in relation to the homeless population, especially in the city of Teresina/PI. This research has the general objective of verifying the importance of the role of the Public Defender's Office of the State of Piauí as an instrument for mitigating the impacts of homelessness. According to the bibliographic study developed, it is possible to verify that the Public Defender's Office plays an essential role in the protection and promotion of the Fundamental Rights of homeless people, acting as an indispensable agent in the fight to guarantee these rights and minimize the violations faced by this population. For the theoretical basis, a variety of sources were used, with emphasis on institutional reports and dissertations, which provided an in-depth overview of the practices of the Public Defender's Office and its effectiveness in defending fundamental rights. The methods used in the research were explanatory in nature, with a theoretical approach, and bibliographic operationalization, through the examination of academic literature, institutional and legal documents, enabling a descriptive, exploratory and explanatory study on the subject. Finally, the research found that the work of the Public Defender's Office of the State of Piauí is essential for mitigating the situation of homelessness, demonstrating that, without its intervention, violations of fundamental rights would be even more serious and recurrent, although the institution faces significant challenges in the full realization of these rights.
