Abstract:

Among the various forms of violence, sexual violence stands out. Historically, this type of violence has been studied primarily among children, adolescents, and women. Few studies have analyzed sexual violence against men. This study aimed to analyze notification and reporting data of sexual violence and rape against boys and men in Brazil using two databases: the Notification of Health Complications Information System (SINAN) and the Brazilian Forum on Public Security (FBSP). Records2010 to 2022 were analyzed based on the characteristics of the victims and the violence, estimating rates per 100,000 men and calculating the regression coefficient to analyze the trend of notifications. Our results indicate that the rates of rape and vulnerable rape have declined in several Brazilian states, while notification rates have increased. It was also observed that during the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a significant drop in sexual violence notifications. Furthermore, notifications were concentrated in the Southeast region, particularly among boys aged 0 to 14 years, predominantly white and brown. Based on these data, we recommend that prevention strategies be adopted for all populations, as well as training healthcare professionals to provide support for boys and men who are victims.
