In Brazil, this phenomenon strongly affects thousands of children and adolescents, and is considered a cruel and criminal practice, capable of leaving deep marks on the body and psychology of the victims. Thus, this research aims to understand how paradidactic materials on child sexual violence contribute to the training of teachers in the Municipal Public Education Network of Manaus/AM. The specific objectives were: 1) To discuss the themes of sexual violence from the perspective of gender violence and teacher training, highlighting the role of teachers in confronting this phenomenon; Verify how paradidactic materials contribute to the prevention and identification of child victims of sexual violence; and, 3) To identify the public educational policies and paradidactic materials adopted in the Early Childhood Education schools of the Municipal Public Education Network of Manaus/AM to confront child sexual violence, analyzing their contributions to the training of teachers. In relation to nature, this study is classified as exploratory. As for the approach, it is qualitative research. Regarding the procedures, bibliographic and documentary research is used. As a result, it is stated that the pedagogical materials contribute to the training of teachers, offering new perspectives, teaching strategies and pedagogical approaches, helping to update knowledge, develop skills and create more dynamic educational environments, favoring the prevention and identification of child victims of sexual violence. However, it is evident that SEMED/Manaus does not offer continuing education for Early Childhood Education teachers on the subject in question. In addition, municipal schools do not have paradidactic materials prepared by this secretariat, for teachers to work on the theme of sexual violence in the school environment.
