Situações de violência sexual infantojuvenil registradas no conselho tutelar de Uberaba/MG

Resumo

This descriptive, exploratory, retrospective study was performed from the perspective of identifying situations of sexual violence reported to the Child Protective Services of Uberaba, Minas Gerais. A total of 1,858 records were analyzed, 45 of which were selected. The family was the major source of violence (44.5%), and 26.7% of the aggressors were either parents or a family member (17.8%). The aggression rates were most frequent among girls (86.7%), from 12 to 14 years old (37.8%); and 71.1% of the cases occurred in their own home. Most aggressors were male (82.2%), aged between 30 and 39 years (6.7%) and the family participated in 26.7% of the cases that were reported. Studies of this nature are essential for developing actions to prevent and cope with child and adolescent sexual violence, as well as to strengthen public policies to reinforce those actions.
