Abstract
OBJECTIVES: to map and analyze the limits and potential of healthcare services in addressing domestic violence against children in the context of the intersectoral network in light of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets. METHODS: a scoping review according to the JBI method, with a search in 11 databases with publications between 2000 and 2023. Content analysis followed Bardin's framework. RESULTS: thirty-four studies were analyzed, predominantly quantitative (67.65%). Scientific production was small and irregular, with an average of 1.42 publications per year. The United States of America led (29.41%), followed by Brazil and the Netherlands (14.71%). Six empirical categories were identified and related to the SDG16 targets. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: strategies such as home visits and professional training have potential, but still lack systematization. Alignment with SDG16 targets requires investments in intersectoral coordination and public policies based on the promotion of children's rights.
