Summary

Introduction

There is a consensus that therapeutic interventions with victims of sexual violence are fundamental for their good development after the occurrence of the fact Exposure to this traumatic situation requires action to restore protection and reduce the harmful effects of the event on its victims (Devlin et al, 2019; Walters, 2017). The text aims to discuss the female children’s reflexivity who are victims of sexual violence during a psychosocial intervention with a playful orientation. In this way, it is intended to apprehend the perspective of the meanings present in the dialogues and games on the theme of protection that is to restore from the therapeutic action (Capella et al, 2018; Marra & Costa, 2016; Webster, 2018). Studies carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of this information have found positive results and demand that these interventions come to be valued as a competent response to the suffering arising from sexual victimization (Dorsey et al, 2017; Mercer, 2017; Navaei et al, 2016; Trivedi & Rejani, 2016)
