Violência sexual intrafamiliar e as consequências psicossociais a vítima criança ou adolescente no Brasil

Abstract

The main objective of this scientific article is to study intrafamily sexual violence and the consequences caused to children and/or adolescents. Sexual abuse occurs most of the time within the victim's home, which can cause great trauma. Through research and doctrines, it was possible to analyze how sexual abuse occurs in the family environment, and how it can affect the development of that vulnerable person, bringing numerous consequences. Reporting this act is difficult due to the sexist culture present in society. Therefore, there is a lack of guidance for parents about the consequences of abuse and how it can affect that child or adolescent.
