Um estudo sobre denúncias de violência registradas no disque 100 - pessoas com deficiência

Abstract

People with disabilities, when compared to their non-disabled peers, are more vulnerable to violence. Considering that in violence prevention the first step is to identify its existence, the present work aims to analyze data related to complaints of violence against people with disabilities made available by Dial Human Rights-Dial 100, to characterize violence against people with disabilities in Brazil. The Dial-100 - Annual Balance 2017 - People with Disabilities was used as data source, analyzing the data related to aggression (frequency, type of violation and location); the characteristics of the victim (disability, ethnicity, age and sex) and aggressors (relationship with the victim, age, sex and ethnicity); and who was the whistleblower. There was a considerable number of complaints between the years 2011 and 2017 (M = 8800, sd = 2879), with the majority of cases (35.8%) being negligence (abandonment, food, protection, hygiene, medicines / health care). The violations occurred at home (85.6%) and the victims were mostly women (52.8%), black (29.7%), aged between 18 and 50 years old (76.9%) and intellectual disability (65.8%). Most of the identified aggressors were family members (57.1%), men (57.6%), aged between 18 and 50 years (39.6%). This situation highlights the need for violence prevention actions which must consider support and guidance for families, changes related to the vision/conceptions of people with disabilities in society, in addition to ensuring access to services and support for the disabled person and his family.
