Caracterização da violência autoprovocada de crianças e adolescentes indígenas no Mato Grosso do Sul entre 2015 e 2019

Abstract

Violence has been accompanying society since its origins, gaining visibility and concern from public policies only in the last three decades. Nevertheless, data indicates that children and adolescents continue to be the most vulnerable to various types of violence. Equally susceptible as children are indigenous populations, a social group that experiences a severe situation of vulnerability, with a disturbing increase in violence due to armed conflicts, territorial limitations, and persistent discrimination, still present despite numerous political and legal interventions aimed at their social protection. In light of this, this study aims to investigate self-inflicted violence among children and adolescents in Mato Grosso do Sul, focusing on the indigenous population, and the data concerning this reality within an educational context. The method employed will be descriptive and quantitative, using the Information System for Notifiable Dis eases (Sinan) and its variants, specifically from 2015 to 2019. The collected data will undergo quantitative analysis and be used to construct tables and graphs, identifying victims, locations, and their level of education as the main variables. This research will enable a dialogue on the implementation of public policies aimed at minimizing the scenario of violence experienced by children and adolescents, especially focusing on preventive actions.
