A violência contra crianças e adolescentes em tempos de pandemia da covid-19

Abstract

The present work aims to carry out an analysis of violence against children and adolescents, its consequences and implications, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic period, under the number of violence that occurred throughout 2020, as well as to identify and expose the vulnerabilities found during restrictive measures of social isolation that can lead to increased violence. For this, initially, a theoretical approach will be carried out regarding the evolution of the rights of children and adolescents, highlighting the doctrinal and normative changes caused by the renewal of the ideological understanding regarding the treatment and protection aimed at the child-juvenile population. We will also bring the issue involving violence against children and adolescents, bringing concepts and exposing the numbers of violence in the last decade, demonstrating however that despite the innovations produced by the Brazilian legislator, there is still the cultural predominance of a perverse pedagogy of submission of children and adolescents to power authoritarian, arbitrary and violent of adults which is rooted in the country. In addition, a comparative analysis will be carried out between the data obtained through the National Human Rights Ombudsman and the survey carried out by Unicef to assess the impacts caused by the covid-19 pandemic on the number of complaints registered throughout 2020, showing through from the analysis of the cases, the difficulties and weaknesses found by the protection agencies in the identification and elucidation of crimes, proposing alternatives to confronting violence against children and adolescents.
