Abstract
This article seeks to analyze Conectas’ experience in human rights advocacy, carried out between 2003 and 2011. Beginning with the historical influences of public interest advocacy in Brazil, of the adoption of the bill of rights of the 1988 Federal Constitution and the internationalization of human rights, this article describes Conectas’ main lines of operation, strategies, challenges and successes in overcoming systemic violence and unjustified exclusions in the context of its human rights advocacy experience.
