It includes information about the abused referrals, the destination of these referrals, the victims of abuse (on the basis), their managers and the perpetrators. This profile provides statistics that allow us to identify the main risk factors for child abuse, which in turn serve for the development of public policy and new alliances and prevention commitments between all sectors of the country. This publication was made in collaboration with the Department of the Family.
