Abstract

With the aim of reflecting on violence against children in Mozambique, the Health and Society Research Group (HSRG) at the Department of Sociology, Eduardo Mondlane University, held interviews and conducted focus groups with children and professionals in two cities. The hypothesis of the study is that the lack of social belonging carries within itself a kind of social behaviour that, in general, does not denounce the significant number of violent cases, especially those against the child. This reinforces such acts, allowing them to become normalized.
