This study proposes an analysis on acceptance and institutional dismissal, understanding them as issues that dialogue with each other. It is based on the principle that it is essential to give centrality to the voices of those who experienced the practical effects of the institutional reception measure, which could significantly contribute to the understanding of the theme. It is emphasized that this perspective is crossed by the right to participation as fundamental also in the context of institutionalization. In addition, it is understood that this conduction is potent for the construction of paths for institutional reception that respect the rights of these subjects, as well as the formulation of a more adequate support in the dismissal process. In methodological terms, oral history was chosen as a way of listening to sensitive topics, valuing the memories and perspectives of young people who had silencing or invisibility as realities in their trajectories. This study relied on the narratives of two young women who left the institutional care measure, which deepen and enrich the existing knowledge on the subject.
