A política de formação continuada de professores e professoras da SEMED-Manaus e o combate à violência sexual contra crianças e adolescentes

Abstract

Sexual violence against children and adolescents constitutes a serious research problem, as it represents one of the most severe violations of human rights, with significant impacts on victims’ development. Situated within the Brazilian context, with emphasis on the State of Amazonas, this issue requires analysis of the legal, institutional, and educational frameworks of protection. The general objective of this study is to analyze sexual violence against children and adolescents, considering its characteristics and implications, as well as the legal and institutional instruments for addressing it. The specific objectives include discussing the paradigm of comprehensive protection and examining the role of schools and teacher training in the prevention and referral of cases, with particular focus on the municipality of Manaus. The methodology consists of documentary research based on data from public agencies and institutional websites, as well as bibliographic research using specialized academic publications. The findings indicate that sexual violence occurs in both intra- and extrafamilial contexts, highlighting schools as key spaces for listening and support, and revealing both advances and challenges in the implementation of training and curricular policies aimed at protecting children and adolescents in Manaus.
