“…As in previous studies, this study showed that the association of age and gender evidences a tendency for boys to be abused at earlier ages 7,9 , possibly because they do not have the physical development to offer resistance [30][31][32] . On the other hand, girls suffer abuse later in life [33][34][35] , which was also observed in this study.…”

The scope of this study was to identify the characteristics of sexual abuse against children including the profiles of the victims and the perpetrators, and associated factors notified in a health service of reference with the database of the Brazilian Case Registry Database, in a city in the south of Brazil. Categorical variables are presented in prevalence with 95% confidence intervals. There were 489 notifications from 2008 to 2014 of confirmed or suspected child sexual abuse. The majority was related to female victims, but the repeated abuse was reported mainly with male victims. In most cases, the abuse took place at the victims' or perpetrators' homes and the main perpetrators of abuse were male and acquainted with the victims. Twelve victims have contracted sexually transmitted infections; pregnancies were six, five of them legally terminated. This study highlights that the child sexual abuse profiles were similar in almost all of Brazilian regions, showing that it is possible to have a coordinated national action to prevent this offence.

“…Dickinson et al 5 (2007) found 55% of recurrence. We found out that perpetrators were usually familiar to the victim, which corroborates other studies, 1,3,8,13,17 and challenges the assumption that sexual abuse is committed by strangers or someone outside the family.…”

OBJECTIVE:To estimate the prevalence of sexual violence history among pregnant women and its association with the self-perception of health status. METHODS:Cross-sectional study including a total of 179 pregnant women older than 14 years old at gestation week 14 to 28 attending public health services in the city of São Paulo, Southeastern Brazil, between 2006 and 2007. Data collection instruments included: questionnaire on sexual violence; questionnaire on sociodemographic data; and an assessment of health-related quality of life using the Medical Outcomes Study 12-Item Short-Form Health Survey (SF-12®). Age, skin color, education, occupational and marital status, and self-perception of physical and mental health were compared between women with and without a lifetime history of sexual violence. Sexual violence was categorized as penetrative and non-penetrative sex. RESULTS:Among all women interviewed, the prevalence of sexual violence was 39.1%, of which 20% were of penetrative type by known perpetrators. In 57% of cases, the first episode of violence was before the age of 14. There were no sociodemographic differences between women with and without history of sexual violence. Mean scores of self-perception of physical health among women with history of sexual violence were lower (42.2; SD= 8.3) compared to those without history of sexual violence (51.0; SD= 7.5) (p<0.001). Mean scores of self-perception of mental health were 37.4 (SD= 11.2) and 48.1 (SD= 10.2) (p<0.001), respectively. CONCLUSIONS:There was found high prevalence of sexual violence among pregnant women studied. Women with history of sexual violence showed poorer self-perception of health status compared to those without history of sexual violence.

“…The WHO reports that girls are more victimized than boys, and in that year, 150 million girls and 73 million boys under 18 years old were forced to maintain sexual relations or suffered other forms of sexual abuse involving physical contact (1) . In Brazilian studies, authors (11) report that cases of sexual abuse predominate in girls between 10 and 17 years old. Boys are also abused, but in lower proportions, especially in cases of sexual abuse within the family (9) .…”
