LIBORIO, Renata Maria Coimbra. Sexual violence against children and adolescents: the contributions Psychology can make to prevention processes. Psicol. Ensino & Form. [online]. 2013, vol.4, n.2, pp. 119-139. ISSN 2177-2061.

This experience report presents and discusses extension practices in state and municipal government-run schools aimed at curbing and preventing sexual abuse and exploitation of children and adolescents. These practices were developed alongside education professionals and others working in tertiary care services for minors. The reflections they gave rise to are based on two specific extension projects: one targeting children in early primary education in government schools and unfolded through a partnership arrangement with the Municipal Education and Social Assistance Department and the Special Court for Childhood and Adolescence; and the other with adolescents in lower secondary education. A description is made, therefore, of continuing education projects, which, in spite of their being carried out with Educators, actually draw on knowledge from the field of psychology and could very well subsidize the practice of psychologists ethically and legally committed to the rights of the child/adolescent population and working in the fields of Clinical, Social or, School Psychology, or in the Judiciary system. The projects confirmed the need to insert into the qualification processes of Educators and Psychologists alike, a discussion of themes such as: child and adolescent rights, child-adolescent protagonism and public social policies.

Palavras-chave : sexual abuse; sexual exploitation; intervention projects; psychologist qualification.
