Abstract:

This is a critical review, in descriptive and discursive perspective, which aimed to analyze the methodological performance of 41 indicators that make up a system built in 2007, in partnership with the United Nations Fund for Children, in order to support the monitoring and analysis for evaluating the performance of municipalities in addressing domestic violence and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents. For the evaluation of the indicators we considered the following criteria: validity, reliability, sensitivity, communication, social relevance and feasibility of obtaining date. Each indicator was analyzed individually, based on the comparison of research results in three cities in the state of Rio de Janeiro: Rio de Janeiro, Belford Roxo and São Gonçalo.
The major difficulties encountered in the application of the indicators were the lack of data for its calculation and the low quality of institutional records. The article presents the revised system of 32 indicators as a management tool for the evaluation and monitoring of municipal strategies for coping with family violence and sexual exploitation of children and adolescents on: prevention; attention to children and families; qualification of notification and registration; strengthening assurance system of rights; and accountability for perpetrators.
