Abstract: »Over the years, there has been a prevalence of sexual violence against female children and adolescents in Brazil. The objective of the present study was to highlight predominant characteristics in cases of sexual violence against the female and Brazilian child population, between 2011 and 2021, and analyze such data in light of intersectionality and categories studied by it, such as gender, race/color and age group, to reflect on the relationship between these factors and the violence committed. The Epidemiological Bulletins from the Ministry of Health and the Panorama of lethal and sexual violence against children and adolescents in Brazil from the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) were used as a source of information. The data indicated a predominance of sexual violence against young black girls, with the aggressor generally being male and having some connection with the victim. Rape was the most common type of violence and the residence was the main place where crimes occurred. Using intersectionality, it was possible to identify historical, social and political factors that permeated the data in order to stimulate new reflections and actions to reduce violence against this group.« (Source: Baraúnas)
