O depoimento sem dano como forma de reduzir a revitimização de crianças e adolescentes vítimas de violência sexual

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the need for change in the current form of hearing children and adolescent victims of sexual violence. Therefore, it is initially performed a terminological clarification, defining, in general, what is the violence and its main ramifications within the childhood and youth, and specifically demonstrated the cycle of sexual violence and their subdivision into sexual exploitation and sexual abuse. Then back up the look on the process of institutional violence to which the victims are subjected, analyzing the level of protection and tutelage that the criminal justice system has been providing to them. Finally, the project Depoimento sem Dano is presented testimony without damage, which aims to make the hearings of children and adolescents victimized less painful. We propose to remove them from the courtroom and insert them in a more relaxed atmosphere, where they will be interviewed by a trained professional, analyzing the compliance of the project with the Brazilian legal system.
