RESUMO

This dissertation aims to investigate concrete possibilities of advocacy from the social movements and non-governmental organizations at the juridical phenomena. It has these requirements: 1) the importance of a new model of rationality able to value concrete social experiences to knowledge production; 2) the recognition of emancipatory possibilities of Law, based on the fight of social movements and nongovernmental organizations against exclusion and discrimination and transformation of Law and social relationships. 3) a concept of Law able to overcome the limitation of Juridical Positivism and Jusnaturalism and at the same time valuing social experiences as the leitmotiv to social transformation. 4) the recognition of the street as a legitimate space to confrontation between social forces, indispensable to guarantee that social and juridical change could became reality. Having as the dorsal spine the health situation in Brazil, two experiences are analyzed one of direct interference at the production of Law and other of the interference on the implementation of the Law. First, we acknowledge the importance of the sanitary movement and the social movement actions in order to achieve health (MOPS), from the decades of 1970 to 1980, during the constitution process of recognition of the right to health as a fundamental and universal right to all Brazilian citizens. After, we analyze the actions, during the 1990, of the National Movement of Fight against Aids to implement of the right to health of people living with HIV, as secured by the Federal Constitution of 1988. The analyses here presented focus on the economic, social and cultural context that inspired the claims, the strategies and the results conquered.
