Il contributo fornisce, attraverso un’analisi della letteratura nazionale e internazionale, un quadro del fenomeno del maltrattamento dei minori nelle famiglie con background migratorio. Definite le forme che la violenza sui minori può assumere, vengono indagate le cause micro, meso e macrosistemiche fra loro strettamente connesse. La condizione di stress che la letteratura indica come causa scatenante la violenza verso minori immigrati risulta essere l’esito dell’intrecciarci di diversi fattori che l’adulto non riesce a fronteggiare. Gli interventi di prevenzione e gestione del fenomeno devono tenere conto di questa complessità in cui agiscono elementi culturali, sociali, politici e strutturali. È necessaria una formazione degli operatori socio-educativi che sappia produrre sensibilità culturale e rilevare l’ambiguità di una lettura rigida dell’identità culturale dei migranti.;

Keywords:violenza, famiglie con background migratorio, minori stranieri, operatori, formazione.
