Objetivo: verificar a prevalência de violência sexual no Brasil entre os anos de 2009 e 2015, conforme a população geral e por sexo feminino e masculino. Métodos: Foi realizado um estudo ecológico, cujas fontes de dados foram o Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (SINAN) e o Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). Posteriormente foram calculadas as taxas de prevalência correspondentes à população em geral e ao sexo. Resultados: A pesquisa evidenciou que a prevalência de violência sexual no Brasil foi crescente entre os anos 2009 e 2013, havendo aumento de 300% na prevalência geral. A prevalência mínima foi no ano de 2015 com taxa de prevalência (TP) = 0,02 por 100.000 habitantes (IC95%: 0,02 – 0,03), e o maior TP foi equivalente a 12.1 (IC95%: 12,0 – 12,3). O sexo feminino apresentou TP maiores que o sexo masculino em todos os anos, atingindo pico de prevalência máximo de 20,9 (IC95%: 20,0 – 21,8), enquanto no sexo masculino o pico foi de 3,0 (IC95%: 2,9 – 3,2). Conclusões: Concluiu-se que a violência sexual ainda é muito prevalente no Brasil apesar da queda na frequência após o ano de 2014 e ainda se trata de um problema de saúde pública. As mulheres são as vítimas mais frequentes conforme evidenciado no estudo.Referências
