OLIVEIRA, Assis da Costa. Sexual violence, childhood and indigenous people: Intercultural redefinition of protection policies in the context of indigenous children. Rev.latinoam.cienc.soc.niñez juv [online]. 2016, vol.14, n.2, pp.1177-1190. ISSN 1692-715X.  https://doi.org/10.11600/1692715x.14220041115.

The article analyzes the construction of differentiated policy for intervention in the area of sexual violence against indigenous children, based in the institutional experiences of a protection network in the municipality of Altamira, Pará State, Brazil. Through the use of documentary and bibliographical research, as well as direct experience as a member of this protection network, we discuss how indigenous rights and intercultural understanding of children and sexual violence have resulted in a change in design of protection policies in the city. This has led to research processes on the socio-cultural reality of indigenous peoples and sexual violence, and the continuing education of professionals working for the direct care of victims, developing an intercultural services that includes the self-determination of indigenous peoples through the protection network.

Keywords : Sexual violence; rights of the child; indigenous peoples.
