Análise da cobertura jornalística de casos de violação sexual caso de estudo: Telejornal Fala Moçambique da Televisão Miramar (janeiro 2018 a agosto 2021)

Abstract

The sexual violation of women is a social problem that affects several societies around the world, in Mozambique the situation is also worrying. These are difficult cases since sexuality is considered an intimate topic. In recent years, there has been an increase in the number of cases, around 38%. These data were advanced by the 2011 Demographic Health Survey, carried out by the National Institute of Statistics (INE) in partnership with the Ministry of Health (MISAU). It was prepared within the framework of the international survey program (MEASURE DHS) developed by ICF International through a contract with USAID, with the purpose of supporting governments and private institutions in developing countries in carrying out national sample surveys in areas of population and health. Faced with this reality, television journalism has assumed the social responsibility to act in the discussion on sexual violation against women based on the defense of their rights, contributing to the awareness and denunciation of this crime. The objective of the research is to analyze reports on sexual rape against women from January 2018 to August 2021. For this, documentary research was used as a methodology, in addition to the content analysis applied in journalistic texts on the subject in the television news program Fala Moçambique, from Miramar Television. Through the analysis carried out, it was found that, although the television news program Fala Moçambique prioritizes the coverage of cases of sexual violation, it still lacks quality from the production of reports from the perspective of awareness and denunciation of this crime.
