Abstract
Objective
To know the protection network, its challenges and elements that interfere in the protection, coping and care of the older person, victim of violence in the city of Manaus, AM, Brazil.
Method
This is a descriptive study structured from a qualitative research using field research. Sixteen professionals were interviewed who are in charge of the main institutions that are part of the Protection Network in Confronting Violence against Older People in the city of Manaus from 07/29 to 11/21/2020.
Results
despite being extensive and active, the network does not have the necessary articulation to meet and monitor the demands of older people in a satisfactory way. There is also no established service flow, nor is there any monitoring of cases of violence against older people in the city.
Conclusion
Integration and articulation between the different institutions is necessary, since the multidisciplinary approach and work from an intersectoral and articulated perspective can result in potentiality in confronting violence against older people in the city of Manaus.
