This Dissertation develops a study about education performed in Center of the Defense of Life and Human Rights Carmen Bascarán (in Portuguese, Centro de Defesa da Vida e dos Direitos Humanos - CDVDH/CB). The general goal of the study was to analyze the educational features of the CDVDH/CB present in its actions in confrontation with contemporary slave labor, in Açailândia city, state of Maranhão, Brazil. The specific goals were: a) verifying how the partnerships with other institutions occur for the development of educational actions to confront to the slave labor; b) evaluating how the educators’ formation occurs and the leaderships that preside in CDVDH/CB; c) understanding the methodology of CDVDH/CB from their actions. We study the following categories: labor, contemporary slave labor, non-formal education and human rights. The methodology of this paper was based on the model of qualitative analysis research. In search of data, we appealed the following methodological instruments: bibliographical research, documental research and semi-structured interview. In order to contextualize the contemporary slave labor problem and the geographic space of Eastern Amazon, where it has a great incidence, local of CDVDH/CB, we seek theoretical support in Marxist historical-dialectical materialism. When we confront the interviews, we can know how the educational actions are worked, the partnerships, the educators’ formation and the methodology of CDVDH/CB and, then, to know its educational features. Before the study, it was possible to perceive the involvement of those who make the CDVDH / CB, besides knowing the particularities of the education developed in the social movement.
