Gender & Sexuality
2007 (2) First review by Rosely Gomes Costa. Second review by Sam Janssen and Marc Vanlangendonck.
The studies regarding gender and sexuality are fundamental to the knowledge of populations and cultures. By helping to understand the social aspect, those studies are fundamental to political organizations when taking decisions and to the development of public policies regarding health, education, rights, ethics etc. They are also important for the organization of the population itself on the fight for their rights and/or the fight for changing of certain laws.
This issue intends to broach the “Gender & Sexuality” subject, colligating it to questions regarding: 1) reproductive health and rights (use and opinion regarding contraceptive methods, abortion, assisted reproduction); 2) homoerotism; 3) ethics; 4) media; 5) sexual harassment; 6) sexual education; 7) notions of masculinity/femininity and paternity/maternity.
