Article Abstract
The aim is to review the temporal trend and spatial distribution of reported cases of sexual violence in Brazil from 2013 to 2022. This is a mixed ecological study, descriptive of multiple groups, with a temporal trend analysis. Notifications of sexual violence from the Information System for Notifiable Diseases were reviewed. A total of 386,141 cases was recorded during the period. There was an annual increase of 3,387 cases (95%CI 2,276-4,498), which is statistically significant (p < 0.001). Acre was the state with the highest incidence rate. Victims' profile: predominantly female (88.5%), adolescents (44.6%) and children (30.6%), brown skin color (49.6%); the perpetrator was predominantly a close or family member (76.1%). There was a significant annual increase in cases of sexual violence in Brazil, revealing a worsening scenario over time, with a consequent increase in reporting. The North, Center-West, and South regions exhibited the highest sexual violence incidence rates.
