Violações dos direitos da criança e do adolescente no Brasil: desafios para a eficácia da rede de proteção

Abstract

This paper analyzes the main laws and public policies for child and adolescent protection in

Brazil, focusing on the Statute of the Child and Adolescent (Law No. 8.069/90), the Anti- Spanking Law (Law No. 13.010/2014), and the Menino Bernardo Law (Law No. 13.046/2014).

The research highlights the challenges faced in implementing these policies, such as the lack of integration between the different sectors of the protection network, excessive bureaucracy, resource shortages, and the overload of professionals involved. Fundamental aspects such as intersectorality, continuous professional training, the use of new technologies, and the strengthening of civil society and family engagement in the protection process are also discussed. The study concludes that despite significant progress, improvements are still needed in the coordination between sectors, professional development, and active community participation to ensure the full protection of children and adolescents in Brazil.
