SEXUAL VIOLENCE FROM A GENDER PERSPECTIVE: TEACHERS' REPRESENTATIONS

We present the results of a review of academic and scientific production Brazilian the past decade investigating teachers representations of sexual violence against girls. We conducted searches in the digital library sites (Higher Level Personnel Improvement Commission - CAPES, National Theses and Dissertations Digital Library - BDTD and Scientific Electronic Library Online - SciELO) using the keywords: representations, sexual violence and gender. We note that the representations contained in these studies are rooted in sexist speeches and binaries that naturalize submission of girls and women to male desire. As a preventive measure against this type of violence the research point to the need for interventions at school together the teachers to have the opportunity to reflect and expand their representations of sexual violence and gender.
