Abstract

This Monograph for the Conclusion of the Undergraduate Course in Law at the Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), carried out in the academic semester 2024.2, has as its main objective to analyze the phenomenon of sexual exploitation against children and adolescents on Marajó Island. The study seeks to understand, based on bibliographic research, the historical roots of this form of violence and to evaluate how the new national legal framework, the Brazilian Penal Code and positive and negative aspects involving the change promoted by Law No. 13,718, of September 24, 2018, and the Statute of Children and Adolescents have influenced the implementation of public policies to address this issue. The main axes of reflection are the categories of violence and sexual violence. Methodologically, the work is based on bibliographic research with a qualitative approach, using the critical-dialectical perspective as a method of analysis. We conclude that combating sexual violence requires a more active stance by the State on the island in question and public policies that guarantee the full protection of children and adolescents in situations where their rights have been violated, particularly in the fight against sexual violence.
