The Child and Adolescent Statute specifies that every child has the right to be protected against actions that may hamper her development. The transgression of this Right affects a significant portion of children, which have their quotidian permeated by various forms of violence. With the purpose of preparing professionals in Education to work in defending the rights of children and adolescents that are violence victims, the SECAD/MEC implemented the project Escola que Protege (School that Protects), the main focus of this presentation. It is important to consider that the definition of an efficient policy that confronts violence involves the work of various strategic social actors, among them, the school community.
