The state reported 127 allegations per 100,000 inhabitants, only surpassed by Rio Grande do Norte, which reports 140 incidents per 100,000 inhabitants. Sergipe follows closely with a rate of 125 per 100,000 inhabitants. This concerning statistic highlights a persistent issue of violence against vulnerable populations in the region.

From 2023 to 2025, the Northeast of Brazil has recorded over 822,000 allegations of violence involving children and adolescents, signifying a distressing increase of 31% in reported cases over the three-year period. These statistics emphasize the urgency with which this issue must be addressed to protect children and adolescents from violence. The governmental and social response to these statistics is critical, not only to decrease the numbers but to raise awareness regarding the resources available for protection and justice.

The situation in Paraíba reflects broader trends in Brazil regarding child protection and violence. With a noticeable rise in allegations, local authorities and civil society organizations are called upon to implement strategies and programs aimed at prevention and intervention. The role of public awareness campaigns and services such as Disque 100 in reporting cases is vital in combating violence against children and adolescents in the region and ensuring a safer future for the younger population.
