You Have to Consider Gender.” Accounts of Professionals on the Barriers to Women's Treatment for Drug Problems
Women face barriers to accessing treatment services for drug problems, without fully benefiting from existing programs and resources. We have carried out a qualitative investigation through focus groups with professionals from different disciplines of the Public Network for Drug-Dependence Care of Andalusia. The barriers we have highlighted show the loneliness of women who have problems with drugs use. Our results show that professionals perceive…

Drunk on Tattoos: Narratives of resistance among pioneering women tattooists in Spain
Tattooing has been analysed as a tool for resistance, reclamation and empowerment. Franco's regime (1939-1975) involved a powerful body politics that deeply shaped Spanish women's embodied experiences. We argue that the late appearance of body modification practices in the 1980s in Spain needs to be understood in light of this repressive political context. This paper presents the personal narratives of the first women professionals dedicated to t…
Addressing Gender-Based Violence in Drug Addiction Treatment: A Systematic Mapping Review
“Intervention support and treatment” programs are most likely to have been designed for the substances consumed by men, and to cater for men’s needs, with little regard to the specific needs of women. Gender-based violence (GBV) has become a key area for addressing the treatment of drug addiction from a gender perspective. In this mapping review covering 32 articles, we examine the strategies used to address gender-based violence in drug addictio…
Keeping your composure”: A digital ethnography of gendered alcohol norms on Instagram
Our data show that Instagram fosters the spreading of an ideal model of "alcohol consumption" online that tends to conceal the adverse effects of the substance, and that the online diffusion of behaviour concerning drinking is not gender-neutral
Eliminating Stereotypes: Villages as Desirable Spaces for Partying among Spanish Youth☆
Most of the research on rural youth has focused on the material conditions that cause their migration to cities, but it has not tended to address sociocultural dimensions, such as those concerning leisure and what might condition the processes of migration among young people. The aim of this study is to contrast the discourse and representations that young people have regarding leisure with the festive practices that they carry out in Spanish vil…

Taking a gender perspective, the aim of this study is to find out what factors act as motivations in Spanish young people’s alcohol consumption. We carried out a qualitative investigation using in-depth interviews of 24 young people. The results show that peer pressure and family permissiveness can have an influence on their alcohol consumption patterns, whil…
Smile, photo! alcohol consumption and technology use by young people in a Spanish rural area
The lifestyles and consumption of today are marked by increasingly global cultural patterns, and rural young people share the aspirations and needs of the postmodern western world. Rural spaces are not oblivious to the neoliberal leisure model of alcohol consumption that is the trend in cities, nor to the massive, connective use of modern networks. The principal objective of the present study is to find out how rural young men and women construct…

Doing gender in Spanish same-sex couples. The distribution of housework and childcare
Housework and childcare have been considered mechanisms for ‘doing gender’ through the allocation of different functions to women and to men. Women continue to devote more time and effort to this type of work, in spite of their progressive incorporation into the labour market. Same-sex couples escape this gender binarism, and so this study set out to learn the distribution criteria work, as well as the influence of gender socialization when it co…

This paper presents the results of a study developed in the south of Spain, where research aimed at understanding men from a gender perspective is still limited. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to explore the lay perceptions and meanings ascribed to the idea of masculinity, identifying ways in which gend…

Girl Power: Risky Sexual Behaviour and Gender Identity amongst Young Spanish Recreational Drug Users
