Kim Kataguiri: Disque 100, the official channel of the Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship, recorded, in just the first four months of 2023, more than 17,500 sexual violations against minors, a volume 68% higher than that recorded in the same period of 2022.
Kim Kataguiri: Underreporting, acknowledged by the competent bodies themselves, indicates that the real numbers are even more significant.
Equally worrying is the profile of recurrence of these crimes.
Kim Kataguiri: A survey by Fundação Abrinq itself indicates that almost 40% of the victims who sought care returned with reports of new episodes, that is, two out of five notifications involve victims who had already suffered sexual violence.
Kim Kataguiri: A study published in the journal Revista Paulista de Pediatria on reported cases in Santa Catarina between 2009 and 2019 (Sinan) identified recurrence in 51% of occurrences, with risk factors associated with the fact that the place of occurrence was the victim's own home and that the aggressor was a member of the family nucleus.
