A study of a policy focused on human rights allow us to discuss about the performance of legal practitioners in a humanist dimension, enabling reflections about their practices and their point of view about the involved subjects. The social representations theory is a theoretical reference from Social Psychology that, among other things, allows us to know the way how a specific group transforms a new knowledge in to something familiar inside one specific historical and social context. This choice is justified through the understanding that the discover of legal practitioners' point of view about the Policy of Confronting Trafficking in Persons is an important step for defining limits and potential involvement from practitioners on this specific policy, and additionally, propose transformations on respective practices. To reach the objective, in addition to the bibliographical research about human rights and trafficking in persons, eight legal practitioners involved with the policy of confronting trafficking in persons on the state of São Paulo, were interviewed. Those interviews were semi structured and some important points to be approached were previously defined. They were recorded and the transcription was made by the researcher. The data analysis were qualitative by nature, data were submitted to content analysis, with establishment of analysis' categories founded on subjects' responses and corresponding with the aims of the work. The following categories were founded: The point of view of legal practitioners about their selves; Violence as causes and consequences of trafficking in persons; Greatest difficulties on working with topics trafficking in persons and human rights; The subjects/objects of trafficking in persons; The thematic axes and the policy's intersectoriality. As conclusion, we understand that the studied policy is progressing since its implementation in Brazil and the legal practitioners have been important actors on this process, as policy's agents or practitioners that take to judiciary demands that involve trafficking in persons. In any of the dimensions, we understand the fundamental importance of reflecting about the development of those professionals on Faculty of Law allowing a compromised practice with the Human Rights' ideal, with human dignity, with social inclusion and with social dimension from the Right.
