- Abstract
Objective: To describe the perception of health professionals about pregnancy secondary to sexual violence against children and adolescents. Methods: This is an excerpt from an exploratory, qualitative study carried out between June and July 2019 with five women from the multidisciplinary team of a hospital in Bahia. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, analyzed and categorized according to Badin's assumptions and interpreted in the light of Symbolic Interactionism. Results: Pregnancy secondary to sexual violence results from early sexual initiation by imposition/induction of incestuous sexual abuse or child marriage with adult men. The maintenance of pregnancy resulting from these abuses is often imposed by persuading the victim to maintain the pregnancy, by late arrival at the health service and by procrastination in carrying out the termination of pregnancy, which are ways of restricting the autonomy of children/adolescents who seek legal abortion. Because of these injunctions, the victims suffer overlaps from injuries such as psychological violence, intimate partner violence and institutional violence. Conclusion: Pregnancy resulting from sexual violence against children and adolescents may be combined with other types of violence that restrict the sexual and reproductive rights of children and adolescents.
