Methods:  This is a cross-sectional study using data from the 2019 National Survey of School Health (PeNSE). Descriptive analyses were conducted and prevalence ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated.  Results:  The prevalence of sexual violence was 22.2% (95%CI 21.5-23.0), with the main perpetrator being a stranger (22.5%; 95%CI 21.2-23.8). Higher prevalence was observed among adolescents aged 16-17 years (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.3), those who used drugs (PR 1.3; 95%CI 1.1-1.4), consumed alcohol (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.3), had a history of sexual intercourse (PR 1.5; 95%CI 1.4-1.7), reported sadness (PR 1.9; 95%CI 1.4-2.5), had mothers with Higher Education degree (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.3), were bullied (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.2-1.3), were assaulted by friends (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.4), and felt unsafe getting to and from school (PR 1.2; 95%CI 1.1-1.4) or at school (PR 1.3; 95%CI 1.1-1.4).  Conclusion:  We verified high prevalence of sexual violence among girls aged 16-17 years in Brazil. It was associated with individual, social, and community factors. Multifaceted interventions, strengthening of intersectoral public policies, and protective strategies are needed to ensure a safer environment.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/1980-549720260016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,3]],"date-time":"2026-04-03T11:50:53Z","timestamp":1775217053000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Prevalence and factors associated with sexual violence against adolescent girls in Brazil: results of the 2019 National Survey of School Health"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"29","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6199-7092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Maria Luiza Sady Prates","family":"Pinheiro","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2587-5658","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alanna Gomes da","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2323-3064","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"N\u00e1dia Machado de","family":"Vasconcelos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8214-5734","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Deborah Carvalho","family":"Malta","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais,  Brazil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Lei no 8.069, de 13 de julho de 1990.
