The aim of the study was to identify the risk and protection factors associated with sexual violence against Brazilian adolescents and emerging adults for both familiar and community contexts. The study counts with 7316 participants between the ages of 14-24 years old (M = 16.19; SD = 1.82) and 3974 were females from the data set "Brazilian Youth". From the whole sample 6.6% of the participants have suffered sexual violence within family and 6.0% within the community. Familiar support appears as a protective factor for sexual violence in family and in the community as well. Being a female and consume alcohol were the risk factors for both contexts. Besides, having a relative arrested, witnessed violence and alcoholism in family were the risk factors for sexual violence among the family, while starvation experiences, being victim of violence in community and involvement in drug trafficking were the risk factors for sexual violence in the community.
