ALVES, Laura Maria Silva Araújo. Shelter, educate and instruct: the hygienist policy and the education of helpless girls in the assistance institutions in Pará state (1850-1910). Educ. Rev. [online]. 2018, vol.34, n.70, pp.137-152. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-4060.58770.

This study aims to contextualize the trajectory of two educational institutions created in Belém, capital of Pará state, in the period of the Brazilian Empire to the installment of the Brazilian Republic, for helpless, orphaned and abandoned girls. It is known that, with the hygienist policy, girls were referred to authorities who had the task of collecting them and sending to institutions that sheltered and provided moral education training, so as to become “mothers” or “foster daughters”. The Nossa Senhora do Amparo School (1838) and Orphelinato Paraense (1893) were institutions that, under the aegis of charity and assistance, developed a feminine education in vulnerable child care in the capital of Pará.
