Abstract

The present work aims to present a reflection on sexual education, based on the importance of working on sexuality as a prevention of child sexual abuse, as a starting point we have na approach to what Sexuality is, we rely on the theoretical support of the following authors, Varella (2017), Foucault (1999), Brazil (1990), Louro (2000) and Sfair (2015). This work was carried out with the objective of understanding how teachers in the early years of a public school in Delmiro Gouveia perceive sex education, highlighting its importance in preventing child abuse. The methodology used was qualitative research, with the technique of case study, using the data collection instrument, a questionnaire conducted with five teachers who work in the rural area of a public school in Delmiro Gouveia, AL. The data collected were organized into 7 categories, namely: 1) Sex education in the view of teachers. 2) Sex education is addressed at school. 3) Sex education treated as “taboo” at school. 4) Sex education as a prevention of child abuse. 5) Identification of teachers by signs left by children and adolescents who are sexually abused. 6) Performance in the teaching profession in initial or continuing education there were subjects or lectures on the theme of sexual education. 7) Commentary about any student in your class or school who presented facts or signs of abuse. For better analysis, a visit was made to the Guardian Council to obtain data from the Municipality, considering that the CT is the gateway to the analysis of child abuse, as well presented in the Statute of Children and Adolescents. Some results obtained were not satisfactory, considering that it is still a taboo subject and viewed with suspicion by civil and governmental society.
