Educação sexual para o enfrentamento da violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes em situação de vulnerabilidade: relato de experiência

Abstract

Sexual violence against children and adolescents, in other socio-historical contexts, has already been naturalized and encouraged, and only since the 20th century has it come to be understood as a public health problem. As a way of protecting children's dignity, sex education has been used by different institutions. On the other hand, it encounters challenges caused by taboos and lack of knowledge of the proposed techniques. The objective of this work is to report the experience in an extension project that proposed ludic workshops to deal with sex education as a way to face sexual violence against children and adolescents in a community in the city of Manaus, in the state of Amazonas. The Arch of Maguerez proposed by Bordenave and Pereira (1989) was the methodology applied to organize this report, which resulted in the participation of the participating public in the workshops, as well as the perception that the selection of recreational activities favored the process of rapport and brought less resistance to the debates on the subject in question.
