Context
Violence against children and adolescents is a violation of their rights, compromises their integrity and development, physical and mental health. Health personnel play a fundamental role in the timely detection and referral of cases of violence against children and adolescents, therefore they are considered essential services in guaranteeing their right to live a life free of violence.
To enhance the detection and care of violence against children in first and second level health centers, the National Center for Child and Adolescence Health ( CENSIA ) and UNICEF, promoted the integration of a Health Sector Guide to prevent, care for and protect girls, children and adolescents with signs of violence ( this document is not public, so its index and the total number of pages for general knowledge ) are shared as an annex, aimed at guiding the practices of health personnel in addressing situations of violence against children and adolescents in each of its stages: prevention, detection, attention and notice / complaint to the authorities as appropriate.
The Guide, based on the current regulatory framework, brings together the main contributions of technical documents produced in the country and makes specific reference to the Clinical Guidelines on how to respond to situations in which girls, children and adolescents have suffered sexual abuse ( WHO, 2017 ) and the Clinical Guidelines on how to respond to situations in which children and adolescents have suffered abuse ( WHO, 2019 ).
This instrument seeks to provide health sector personnel with conceptual elements, guidelines and practical tools for prevention, detection, care, warning and/or denunciation of violence against girls, boys and adolescents, through a culture of respect for their dignity, their rights and good treatment, considering the best interests of childhood and adolescence and with a gender perspective for the development and comprehensive well-being of this sector of the population.
