Sexual and reproductive rights from an intersectional perspective

2024-08-28T20:52:12+00:00

This study employs an intersectional analytical perspective to delve into the manner in which Jair Messias Bolsonaro addressed sexual and reproductive rights throughout his seven terms in the Chamber of Deputies. Employing both qualitative and quantitative methods, the research scrutinized all the plenary speeches delivered by the congressman. The findings revealed that Bolsonaro consistently expressed concerns about birth control. Utilizing discourse analysis, it became evident that the former federal deputy's approach to the issue aimed to correlate population growth with an escalation of poverty, marginalization, and violence. Consequently, this perspective was closely tied to two pivotal semantic fields - moral conservatism and the combat against crime through a punitive approach - that played a crucial role in expanding his electoral base and securing victory in the 2018 elections.

Hierarquias de gênero e raça na elite parlamentar brasileira

2025-06-05T11:10:22+00:00

This article examines the expressions of the sexual division of political labor during the first legislative year of the 55th legislature in the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies. It aims to analyze how the sexual division influences the political actions of male and female deputies in terms of positions of political coordination, the themes they engage with, and their career trajectories in politics. The group of parliamentarians whose projects are prioritized and who actively participate in legislative work is fundamentally political, reflecting party disputes, survival strategies, and hierarchies in the organization of work. Discussing the outcomes of these disputes provides a better understanding of power relations both inside and outside the parliament, as well as the impact of gender roles in the process. The goal is not to explain the causes of gender inequality in politics, but to analyze its manifestation in parliamentary work and, consequently, in the hierarchies of the Brazilian political field.

Análise linguístico-discursiva da “masculinidade tóxica” em meios digitais

2025-06-05T11:36:11+00:00

This article analyzes, from the perspective of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), the linguistic-discursive processes that sustain toxic masculinity in digital interactions. The corpus comprises posts and comments from platforms such as X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, adopting a qualitative approach based on theorists such as Fairclough (2001), Connell (2005), and Orlandi (2015). The findings reveal that social networks function as ideological arenas where patriarchal norms are amplified, reinforcing gender hierarchies. Comments that delegitimize emotional expression or promote hegemonic masculine stereotypes illustrate how these discursive practices restrict alternative male identities. The study concludes that toxic masculinity is upheld by discursive mechanisms that naturalize inequalities and inhibit social change. It emphasizes the need for discursive practices that encourage more inclusive forms of masculinity and highlights the importance of future research exploring strategies to deconstruct hegemonic narratives in digital environments.

O corpo gay que vive com HIV

2025-09-16T20:26:43+00:00

This article aimed to analyze discourses from a campaign about HIV, produced by the Ministry of Health, involving gay male participants who live with HIV; understand how these identities, being gay and living with HIV, are represented — separately or overlapping — in the participants’ discourses; as well as discussing how the participants react to these identities. To make this possible, the study was carried out following a qualitative research methodology and the data was discussed in light of the theoretical-methodological approach of Critical Discourse Analysis, queer studies, and intersectionality. The results demonstrate that the participants' identities are represented overlapping, that is, there is an interrelationship — social and historical — between being gay and living with HIV. It is also seen that the participants react to these identities with resistance, giving new meaning to the stigmatizing discourses that have been (re)produced over the more than 40 years of the HIV/AIDS epidemic and that attempt to associate and marginalize the two social identities analyzed here.

Gender Roles and Unprotected Sex between Women and Men

2025-08-20T10:56:33+00:00

This study aimed to analyze the data found in the scientific literature about the association between gender roles and condom use in women who have sexual relations with men. An integrative literature review was conducted in Scopus, PubMed, Lilacs and PsycINFO databases, covering studies published between January 2015 and June 2021. After applying the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the final sample was composed by 33 articles. The results of the articles indicate that traditional gender roles are associated with the difficulty faced by women in using condoms in sex with men. The aspects related to this difficulty were the following: conformity with a traditional sexual script and internalization of sexism; adherence to a submissive role in conjugality; fear of questioning male authority in the context of exposure to Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs); and the intersection between being a woman and other social markers, such as lower levels of education, financial dependence and age disparity with the partner. The findings of this literature review integrate research results carried out in different countries and provide contributions on components that should be prioritized in intervention strategies developed to promote safer sex between women and men.

2025-04-28T00:33:08+00:00

Transgender perception about the experiences of their families of origin is a wispy studied object of study. This paper aims to investigate the perceptions of transgender people and their process of gender affirmation in the family context. It is a qualitative, exploratory and transversal study. Interviews were held with 14 participants between 20-30 years old in Northern state of Rio Grande do Sul. A semi-structured interview scrip and a sociodemographic data forma were used. Data analysis was executed with thematic analysis proposal. Two themes emerged: initial processes of family adjustment and gender affimation process actions inside the family group. These processes and these situations lead to a new family rearrangement. It is concluded that the perceptions of the experiences of transgender people with their families are complex and multifaceted, involving different processes, both positive and negative to the transgender person. It is expected that, with this study, families, institutions and health professionals can benefit to carry out affirmative care and support actions with this population.

Violências experimentadas por mulheres transgêneras migrantes venezuelanas no Brasil

2025-09-20T14:27:13+00:00

Introduction: Venezuelan transgender women are fleeing the crisis and transphobia in their country and get in Brazil as their destination seeking legal protection. However, after entering Brazilian territory, they are faced with a series of adversities, involving various forms of violence. Objective: To analyze the violence experienced in Brazil by Venezuelan migrant transgender women. Methodology: Qualitative study, made in Manaus and Boa Vista, with transgender Venezuelan migrants. 9 individual semi-structured interviews were done online and 3 in-person focus groups, totaling 34 interviewees. Reflective thematic analysis was carried out. Results: Data categorized into: 1) (cis)cultural violence: overcoming territories and crushing dreams and (trans)expectations, which addresses violence resulting from cultural differences and the suppression of these women's aspirations; 2) Interpersonal violence: discrimination causing physical harm, which explores physical aggression and discrimination experienced in different contexts; 3) Strategies adopted as a way of fighting violence, which highlights the strategies acquired to deal with the violence they face. Conclusion: The intersectionality that involves being a migrant, poor and a transgender woman means that these women face many vulnerable situations, including new forms of violence, with few resources to face them, despite recognizing discrimination and transphobia as the main causes.

Old age and Homosexuality: The trajectory of elder lesbian women

2025-09-16T18:12:11+00:00

The increasing number of elders in the Brazilian population brings forth the topic of the plurality of aging, incorporating to this topic discussions about gender and sexuality in this stage of life. This research aimed to analyze the life trajectory of elder lesbian women. This is a qualitative field study which included three lesbian elderly women who are part of a non-profit organization in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. We carried out semi-scripted interviews with questions about the trajectory of aging of the participants. Data were analyzed using the procedure of content analysis. The results showed that participants had trouble regarding self-acceptance when it comes to being lesbian. They also faced different challenges to be able to have their affective sexual relations throughout their lives. We found that current social and financial conditions, conquered in old age, allowed more freedom and autonomy to live their relationships. The importance of NPOs and social support in this stage of life was also highlighted.

Urban imaginaries and transgender and homosexual groups

2025-09-16T05:44:51+00:00

This paper is part of the research project “Digital Porto Alegre Imaginated”, which comprises an international study on urban imaginaries. The goal of the text is analyze the symbolic components from the citizens’ representations about the Cidade Baixa neighborhood, in Porto Alegre, associated with the presence of transgender and homosexual groups. It uses as a basis the theoretical-methodological framework of urban imaginaries, proposed by Armando Silva. This is a quali-quantitative and descriptive research that presents the official information about the neighborhood and compares it with the results achieved through a questionnaire applied to 160 people from Porto Alegre between April and May 2022. It appears that the place is identified from the occupation of transgender and homosexual groups, becoming an emblem of the neighborhood. This representation is contemporary, but is based on the history of the neighborhood, which was a stronghold of the “Baixa Cidade”, frequented by minority social groups. The representation of the neighborhood as a nocturnal bohemian space legitimizes it as a space of resistance and struggle for rights, as it involves the search for occupation of city spaces. It concludes that the Cidade Baixa neighborhood is represented as a territory of homosexuals and transgenders, representative of the social practices of these groups that are manifested by the joy and bohemia of the place.

Solidarity City and Non-Monogamy:

2025-04-06T23:57:11+00:00

In this article we deal with monogamy as a normative conditioning of desires and affections within the kinship structure, marriages and family relationships, which add symbolic and material values in the way as contemporary society is constituted. We will indicate that these aspects are also associated with material and emotional bonds of attachment and the fear of finitude. Our objective is to reflect on the ways in which monogamy establishes the ideological bases for the constitution of material and urban culture in the appearance and discourses related to the architecture of cities in their constant search for the privilege of exclusivity. We are organized methodologically through ethnographic inspiration and the methods of theoretical review and non-participant observation to analyse the promise of exclusivity and uniqueness in the urban space of Erechim (RS, Brazil). At the end, to counter the constitution of monogamy in material and urban culture in its constant search for the privilege of exclusivity, we argue the possibility of more solidary and detached experiences in the contemporary city based on the greater prominence of non-monogamous bonds and affections.

Public policies to address violence against women

2025-10-08T10:43:25+00:00

With the aim of presenting the cycle of the National Policy for Combating Violence against Women, documentary research and bibliographic review were used, covering the overview of the main advances obtained and the consequences of this policy in the social environment. The leading role of educational institutions should be highlighted, in which research groups and centers are concentrated, such as the Interdisciplinary Center for Gender Studies at the Federal University of Viçosa (NIEG/UFV), which through the Casa das Mulheres Program, achieved the consolidation of the Assistance Network for Women in Situations of Violence, by presenting alternatives and possibilities in the face of violence. Despite the path that still needs to be taken, the approval and implementation of public policies have made it possible to combat violence against women, with the implementation of actions in the three governmental spheres.

The Representation of Gender Violence and Sexuality

2025-07-30T10:52:34+00:00

The present study examines the portrayal of gender and sexuality within the academic setting, with a specific focus on the perceptions held by students and educators on this portrayal within the school environment. The study was conducted in a public school located in the city of Imperatriz, Maranhão. The objective is threefold: firstly, to understand how gender violence and sexuality are represented in a public school, and secondly, to consider the perceptions of both students and teachers on these matters. The theoretical underpinnings of the research are rooted in the contributions of prominent scholars, including Durkheim (2008), Butler (2022), Bento (2017), Foucault (2014), Louro (2014), and Libâneo (2013), among others. This qualitative study employed two data collection instruments: focus groups with students and semi-structured interviews with teachers. The data collected revealed that students' perceived representations of gender and sexuality violence at the institution under study were influenced by the prevailing social environment, resulting in a naturalized reproduction owing to the absence of discourse on the subject within the school setting. Consequently, teachers' performance in addressing issues related to prejudice and discrimination is hindered by the prevailing discourse of power within the school environment. This discourse is characterized by the naturalization of gender-based violence and a lack of open discussion on the subject.
