A IMPORTÂNCIA DA ESCOLA NO COMBATE À VIOLÊNCIA CONTRA CRIANÇAS E JOVENS

Abstract

This work discusses the role of the school in identifying and combating violence committed against children and adolescents. Highlighting the cultural and historical relationships that contribute to these actions occurring frequently in the family environment despite legal efforts to reduce them. The damage caused by violence in the family environment affects the social, psychological and educational aspects of the victims, causing various losses to the educational process of children and young people, making it urgent and fundamental to outline strategies to put an end to these events. To develop the work, bibliographical research was used, through which it was possible to prepare a literature review on the topic, resuming and reflecting on already consolidated discussions, since there are publications of great importance on the topic and which aim to increase awareness of the need for effective actions in school environments that focus on preventing child violence. The research brings a reflective approach to the influence of the school in combating and preventing this violence, considering the importance of the school institution for identifying children who are victims of any type of violence, offering understanding and access to protection resources, since the aggressor is a relative or person close to the victim.

Key words: Violence. Child. School. Education
