Abuso intrafamiliar contra crianças e adolescentes

Abstract

This article discusses the sexual exploitation of children and adolescents delimiting the study of intrafamily sexual violence as well as the mechanisms for defending the rights and dignity of minors in accordance with the Statute of the Child and Adolescent. It has been seen that even with the progress made, in Brazil the violation of human rights and the rights of children and adolescents is a daily fact, although the country has been able to elaborate one of the most paradigmatic codes on these rights, and the child and Adolescent statute. In fact, Brazilian childhood is far from having the absolute priority that the Constitution proclaims. Thus, at the end of this study it is concluded that the ECA advocates comprehensive protection by the family, society and State to children and adolescents, however, it is believed that the State has not developed effective mechanisms to guarantee this protection.
