Childcare between civilization and discrimination

Abstract

Since the beginning of the century, the theme of childhood education and care has been considered increasingly central both for the development and education of children and for the construction of a democratic and inclusive society, characterized by equal opportunities and fights all forms of poverty. In childhood, inclusion is configured as a process aimed at eliminating discrimination, marginalization and obstacles that children may encounter in their development path. In this regard, international organizations recommend overcoming traditional gender stereotypes and guaranteeing development and access to quality care and education for all, recalling the principles of inclusive education not limited only to special categories of people, classified on the basis of diagnostic criteria, but extended to all diversities and oriented towards achieving the objectives of universal education.
