Resumo:Aiming to deepen the debate and raise awareness about information literacy, this article presents the central findings of a qualitative exploratory study. The research is positioned through the lens of decolonial and intercultural thought, questioning current elitist and technicist approaches. The main contribution is the proposal of information literacy principles adapted for individuals and groups in situations of social vulnerability. This conceptual framework—which articulates decolonial thinking with the four dimensions (technical, aesthetic, ethical, and political) of Vitorino and Piantola (2020)—seeks not only to overcome the limitations of hegemonic perspectives but also to provide a fundamental basis for the development of actions, projects, and programs directed at minority and marginalized social groups
