This study aims to characterize sexual violence on children in Aracaju in the period from 2009 to 2011. For this we used the database of the Information System for Notifiable Diseases (SINAN), supplied by the Municipal Health Department of Aracaju. The results showed that 82 children were victims of sexual violence in Aracaju, of which 79.23% are girls and 20.74% boys, 37.8% of victims are mulattoes; 23.18% studied up to the fourth grade, 6.1% have some kind of disorder. Regarding sexual violence, 31.72% suffered rape; 87.81% of cases with only an aggressor; 47.56% in the violence there was recurrence and consequences detected at the time of notification showed that 6.10% of the victims had post-traumatic stress. Concerning the perpetrator, 41.46% are known to the victim and family and 89.03% are male, 20.74% were under suspicion of alcohol at the time of the assault; 76.83% of sexual violence occurred in the victim's own residence. As for the procedures and referrals to victims, 80.49% had their blood sampled for laboratory tests, 85.37% were referred for outpatient and 69.51% were referred to the child protection agency; 85.37% of cases were classified as probable aggression. With this study we can conclude that violence is a complex problem, recidivist with multiple causes and consequences extremely devastating for children, their abusers are still people close to the victim and the family and the same child may suffer more than one type of violence simultaneously.
Breast milk is complete food for growth and development of children up to six months, and is considered one of the main instruments for the promotion of child health. This practice is no longer given priority to families in Brazilian society since the mid-twentieth century. The study aims to describe the indicators of breastfeeding for children between 0 and 6 months of age Basic Health Units (BHU) involved in the Breastfeeding Brazil Network in the city of Aracaju / SE. We performed a cross-sectional study with data in spreadsheets Breastfeeding Network Brazil, from January to October 2012 at the BHU John and Eunice Barbosa Bezerra and from August to October 2012 at the BHU Manoel de Souza Pereira, and a structured questionnaire teams along with family health. The results show that of the 742 children studied, 643 (87%) are breastfeeding (BF), however, the prevalence of exclusive breastfeeding provides only 40% of children. Also noted is the early introduction of other liquids (water, tea and other milk) from the first month of life and solid foods (fruits, salty foods and other foods) from the third month. The questionnaire data show that BHU encourage breastfeeding through prenatal care, child care, pregnant groups and educational activities, as well as track these indicators. The study shows that despite BHU promote actions for BF this practice does not occur exclusively.
