Resumo
Em 2014, no município de São Paulo, foi criado o Programa “De Braços Abertos”
(DBA), baseado na estratégia de redução de danos. O Programa tinha o intuito de
proporcionar às pessoas que fazem uso de crack a garantia de acesso à direitos
considerados básicos, como saúde, trabalho remunerado, alimentação, assistência e
moradia, por meio de intervenção não violenta. Em maio de 2017, houve uma
megaoperação da polícia militar que retirou essas pessoas da região da
Cracolândia. Após tal ação, o prefeito em exercício anunciou o encerramento do
DBA, que deu lugar ao programa “Redenção”. Nesta nova vertente, houve a
permanência de 3 hotéis sociais advindos do DBA. Essa pesquisa teve os seguintes
objetivos: realizar um percurso do DBA até o Redenção; verificar como se deu o
desmonte do DBA; e realizar uma comparação inicial entre eles. Para tanto, como
metodologia, foi realizada uma etnografia de nossa vivência profissional em um dos
hotéis do DBA, além de entrevistas abertas com exprofissionais que trabalharam no
programa e com um exbeneficiário, como recurso para compreender os dois
programas. Nas considerações finais, foi possível concluir que, embora o DBA
tivesse as suas limitações (sobretudo por ser um programa relativamente novo e
com diversas resistências na sociedade civil), cumpriu seu papel de proporcionar
aos seus beneficiários a redução no consumo de crack, bem como seu acesso a
serviços de saúde, assistência, moradia, alimentação e trabalho. O olhar dado pelo
DBA estava relacionado com o cuidado integral do beneficiário do programa,
enxergandoo como uma pessoa possuidora de direitos, e atendendoo para além
das drogas. Já no Redenção, a preocupação se dá em torno do uso das drogas,
dando ênfase ao tratamento em saúde.
In 2014, in the city of São Paulo, the “De Braços Abertos” (DBA) program was created, based on the harm reduction strategy. The program was intended to provide people who use crack with guaranteed access to basic rights, such as health, paid work, food, assistance and housing, through nonviolent intervention. In May 2017, there was a megaoperation by the military police that removed these people from the Cracolândia region. After such action, the acting mayor announced the closing of the DBA, which gave way to the “Redenção” program. In this new aspect, there were the permanence of 3 social hotels coming from the DBA. This research had the following objectives: to take a journey from the DBA to Redemption; verify how the dismantling of the DBA took place; and perform an initial comparison between them. Therefore, as a methodology, an ethnography of our professional experience in one of the DBA's hotels was carried out, as well as open interviews with former professionals who worked in the program and with a former beneficiary, as a resource to understand the two programs. In the final considerations, it was possible to conclude that, although the DBA had its limitations (especially as it is a relatively new program and with several resistances in civil society), it fulfilled its role of providing its beneficiaries with a reduction in crack consumption, as well as their access to health services, assistance, housing, food and work. The look given by the DBA was related to the comprehensive care of the program's beneficiary, seeing him as a person with rights, and attending him beyond drugs. In Redenção, on the other hand, the concern is around the use of drugs, emphasizing health treatment.
