Abstract

This article aims to revisit and synthesize academic production on the intersections between childhood(s), early childhood education, and citizenship, with an emphasis on issues of equality and equity between men and women from childhood as a potential path toward building a non-violent society. By investigating theses, dissertations, articles, and final course projects, the study seeks to understand how the themes of childhood(s), early childhood education, and citizenship interact in these productions and impact the experiences of young children, from infancy. The data were analyzed descriptively and interpretively, considering the following axes: a) teacher training for early childhood and educational proposals and practices promoting citizenship and combating violence; and b) childhood, citizenship, and policies regarding children's rights. The analysis of public policies highlights the need to align legislation with practice, ensuring the inclusion of all children in education and prioritizing citizenship from early childhood, while teacher training should address gender and violence, promoting educational practices that develop children's critical awareness of social inequalities.
