Abstract:

Children and adolescents are the majority of victims of sexual violence in Brazil, and it is necessary to invest in prevention to ensure healthy child and adolescent development. In 2022, Brazil was in 25th position in the ranking of prevention of sexual violence against children, among 60 monitored countries. The objective of this article is to present evidence on the effects of interventions to prevent sexual abuse of children and adolescents in school environments. This is a rapid review, which included searches in six scientific literature databases, and identified 14 systematic reviews. The results show a wide variety of interventions implemented in educational environments to prevent sexual abuse of children and adolescents. The interventions proved to be effective for outcomes on knowledge, skills, attitude, behavior, perpetration and victimization. The majority of primary studies cited in the systematic reviews comehigh-income countries, not including studies carried out in Brazil.
