“…Longobardi et al attempted to classify recurring bizarre phrases in the accounts of victims of suspected sexual abuse in particular, highlighting how these are often present in the context of child pornography, and therefore may actually testify to genuinely experienced events. Consequently, it is crucial for the clinician to faithfully report the accounts of younger victims, providing detailed information, including any elements judged as strange, for subsequent evaluation by law enforcement, child neuropsychiatrists, and judges [ 26 ].…”

This retrospective study analyzed a case series of female sexual violence (SV) victims who were admitted to the emergency department of the University Hospital in Udine between January 2012 and April 2023. A total of 155 cases were divided into two groups according to their age: 115 adult victims and 40 minors. Compared with minors, adults had risk factors such as psychiatric disorders and past experience of SV, and reported bodily injuries and extragenital lesions more frequently. Moreover, a positive screening for sexually transmitted diseases and its association with genital injuries turned out to be significantly more present among adult victims than minors. In contrast, victims younger than 18 years tended to delay seeking medical help and more often did not report genital penetration. To conclude, a deeper knowledge of the different characteristics of sexual abuse among female adults and minors may help us to understand what the focus of prevention programs and public awareness campaigns should be.

“…The occurrence of violence in the household also contributes to cover such violence, due to the pacts of silence between residents and the culture of society that privilege the privacy of family environment, even if situations of rights violation [ 43 ]. Even when child tries to expose the violence suffered, he/she is often not heard or adults consider it to be a lie [ 5 , 33 , 44 ].…”

Sexual violence is one of the forms of violence against children worldwide. Understanding its magnitude and its associated factors is essential to promote effective protection policies to childhood. The objective was to verify the prevalence and analyze the factors associated with sexual violence against children in a Brazilian state. This is a cross-sectional study analyzing data from reported cases of violence against children in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, between 2011 and 2018. The characteristics of the victim, perpetrator and aggression were studied, and the associations were analyzed using Poisson regression. The frequency of sexual violence was 41.8% and was more prevalent in girls, in the age groups 3 to 5 and 6 to 9 years old, in white ethnicity/color and in the urban area. The offenders were mainly men, known to the victim and occurred mainly in the residence. Sexual violence was the most reported violence among children in Espírito Santo, occurring within their circle of trust, demonstrating the need to provide support for families and to advance public policies to guarantee children’s rights.

“…It not only promotes education and skills development, but also plays an important role in preventing and addressing forms of threat and risk of victimization. We know that the problem of violence against children remains a social emergency (Longobardi et al, 2022) and that school is a context in which forms of violence can occur (Longobardi et al, 2019b,c;Badenes-Ribera et al, 2022). Violence against children and youth has short-and long-term effects on individuals' psychological and social adjustment (Norman et al, 2012;Prino et al, 2019;D'arcy-Bewick et al, 2022), and this can also impact society in terms of costs and the risk of creating less equitable, inclusive, and peaceful societies.…”
