Abstract

The present work is about human rights interaction, interfamilial sexual abuse and citizenship, emphasizing the conquest subject of the victims' of sexual abuse citizenship in Campina Grande, through the access to the Sentinel Program, responsible for protecting the children's fundamental rights and adolescents reached by the problem of the sexual violence, in an interdisciplinary perspective, considering that the interlacement of different areas of the knowledge made possible to give theoretical-methodological sustainability to the attainment of the longed for objectives. In this sense, the idea of construction of the citizenship came from a wider perspective, which conceives this as an instrument of citizens conscious participation in the destinies of society, so that the citizen is recognized as being a promoter of changes in the subjects regarding social life. It stands out that the conquest of children's and adolescents citizenship, before the interfamilial sexual abuse problem, it is still a process that runs to slow steps, because the protected notion for the juridical culture has in the exercise of the citizenship just to its safeguards of the civil and political rights, like, for example, the right of voting for and to be voted for, so that those infant-juvenile subjects would be out of the citizenship meditated in the traditional optics. However, the citizenship subject, in the extent of sexual violence, is not necessarily limited to punishability and correctional measures to the aggressor, but it means that the civic participation of the family, civil society, State, NGO's and churches can collaborate in facing the problem, as well as in the popularization work and promotion of the victims reserved rights, surrendered in the Federal Constitution of 1988 and in the Child's and Adolescent s Statute. Consequently, this work objectives to analyze the Sentinel Program as a citizen conquest instrument, determinated through the services accomplished to interfamilial sexual abuse victims during from June of 2001 to June of 2004. For that, the analytical-descriptive procedure methods of exploratory and dialectic character were used. This way, it could be concluded that the families reached by interfamilial sexual abuse are mostly of low income and little education; consequently they end up seeking institutions that aren t ready to assist cases of that nature. The cadastral data revealed that the largest incidence of cases involves the feminine gender, in the same way that the aggressor in good part of the services is the father or stepfather. The results point that the deficiency in civil society engagement is due the lack of information of the juridical and social point of view, considering that one of the citizen s indispensable participation mechanisms for the sexual abuse problem is the accusation, confirmed in the research by Sentinel Program's professionals. Finally, it was concluded that the citizenship conquest requests, as regards to the infant-juvenile warranties, the family investigation bows for the affectionate and educational formation, as long as education is decisive to assure the access to the citizenship and the fundamental rights, besides contributing in the divulgation work of political facing to the sexual abuse.
