Violência intrafamiliar infantil na compreensão do Serviço Social

Abstract

With the aim of considering the phenomenon of intra-family violence, distinguishing its qualities and characteristics from violence practiced against children, this monograph delimits intra-family violence against children in its conceptual framework in dispute with domestic violence, identifying its interconnection with the basic and social rights of children and adolescents and know it as a category of study in Social Work. Built under the methodological procedure of bibliographical research, the study enabled three results centered on the elaboration of specific objectives. In the first, the concept of intrafamily violence against children was constructed in distinction from domestic violence. The second presents intra-family violence against children as a category in close interconnection with the child rights system and its recognition of a being in rapid development. While in the third, the category of family violence is considered as a subject of study and intervention by Social Services, articulating social policies for confronting and understanding intra-family violence against children and protecting children and adolescents. The final considerations are that intra-family violence against children, whether carried out within or outside the home, is identified by the kinship and blood relationship between the aggressor and the victimized child. With the family as the epicenter, it is formed under the sociocultural and ideological pressures of the capitalist social order that places the family under the mantle of the patriarchal, sexist and authoritarian culture of conceiving children at a level of adult-centric and gender inequality, which is why they are affected due to complex contradictions that, although recognized as a social institution and body of primary responsibility in the formation of citizens, the family needs the absolute support of the State to carry out its social functions. And, finally, it is concluded that the level of complexity involved in carrying out intra-family violence requires improvement in the public apparatus for confronting and combating it, opening space for the intervention of Social Services, and for the production of in-depth theoretical knowledge about a category that is still There is a lot to be explained about its nature, manifestations and forms of eradication
