          Abstract

          Resumo O distanciamento social tem sido usado pela maioria dos governos estaduais e municipais do Brasil como principal estratégia para a redução da velocidade de transmissão do novo coronavírus (SARS-CoV-2), agente etiológico da COVID-19. Entretanto, esse isolamento social tem tido várias repercussões negativas, dentre elas o aumento da violência intrafamiliar contra crianças, adolescentes e mulheres. Recentemente, a violência contra a pessoa idosa (VCPI) durante a pandemia também vem entrando na pauta das preocupações, embora a discussão sobre as possíveis estratégias de enfrentamento da VCPI durante a COVID-19 ainda seja inexpressiva em todo o mundo. Visando ampliar o debate sobre o tema no Brasil, este artigo pretende oferecer elementos teóricos e evidências de estudos anteriores para uma maior compreensão da situação de vulnerabilidade do idoso às situações de violência, das possíveis motivações para o aumento do número de casos de VCPI durante a COVID-19, bem como sugerir possíveis estratégias para o enfrentamento do problema.

          Translated abstract

          Abstract Most Brazilian state and municipal governments have used social distancing as the primary strategy for reducing the transmission speed of the new Coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2), which causes COVID-19. However, this social isolation has had several adverse repercussions, including increased intrafamily violence against children, adolescents, and women. Recently, violence against older adults (VAOA) during the pandemic has also been on the agenda of concerns, although discussing possible strategies for coping with VAOA during COVID-19 is still unimpressive worldwide. Aiming to broaden the debate on the theme in Brazil, this paper aims to offer theoretical elements and evidence from previous studies for a greater understanding of the situation of vulnerability of older adults to situations of violence, of the possible motivations for the increased number of cases of VAOA during the COVID-19 pandemic, and possible strategies to address the problem.
