A materialização do Projeto Ético Político do Serviço Social no enfrentamento e combate à violência sexual de crianças e adolescentes

Abstract

Bearing in mind that sexual violence against children and adolescents has been increasingly practiced in Brazilian society and demanding the work of Social Service professionals in various socio-occupational spaces, acting in confronting and combating this practice, research is carried out on the materialization of the Professional Ethical-Political Project in facing this reality through exploratory research carried out through bibliographical and documental survey from nine texts, being articles and monographs, in order to analyze the work of the social worker in the area of health and assistance and how they put into practice what the professional project aims at from its ethical-political, theoretical-methodological and technical-operative dimensions. For that, the bibliographic productions on the role of Social Work in combating and facing this violence were analyzed, the professional responses that are presented from the critical professional practice were identified, and the challenges to face the problem were reported. In view of this, it appears that intrafamily sexual violence is the most frequent, being practiced, for the most part, by the parents themselves, highlighting the adult-centrism and patriarchy present, which implies a greater number of female victims. Finally, according to the research, it was possible to understand that despite the existing and advanced law, the dismantling of public policies by reducing investments to face the issue, makes the protection network for these children and adolescents become inefficient.
