Sumario: This article explores human rights and education based on an intervention experience conducted in three schools located in Sao Paulo City, which had as its main goal a substantial reduction in violence (2004-2005) . The guideline was that education should be considered a basic human right, ta- king into consideration the power and authority relations that exist within this institution.
