Assédio sexual nas penitenciárias de goiás: o silêncio do assédio nas prisões

Abstract

This work addresses the topic of sexual harassment in Goiás prisons, its classification, the lack of infrastructure, and the impunity of perpetrators. Its objective was to analyze the criminalization of sexual harassment in relationships, aiming to curb and punish such practices. Furthermore, it explains what constitutes sexual harassment, the characteristics for identifying the crime, and the precariousness of the prison system in preventing, reporting, and combating this crime. To achieve these objectives, a qualitative method was used, through bibliographic and jurisprudential research, the Penal Code, and online articles. The study revealed the extreme difficulty in proving the crime, as the victims are often inmates, frequently resulting in impunity for the harasser.
