Sex education and the views of young people on gender and sexuality in Portuguese schools
This paper draws upon the recognition of sex education as an educational space for the development of youth sexual citizenship and gender equality. Despite the more open political and public debates in Portugal during the last three decades, around the implementation of sex education in schools, the relationship between education and sexuality is still seen as a «problem» and not as a citizenship right. Going beyond the health centred approaches,…
Resisting epistemic violence in global mental health
Background While there is consensus that local knowledge is important to build better mental health responses, integration of this knowledge into mental health services remains a work in progress. In this paper, we explore local understandings of mental health, mental illness, well-being and emotional distress building dialogical spaces that enable community perspectives to inform academic knowledge and health systems . Methods We identified loca…

Este artículo buscó comprender la función de la praxis (reflexión y acción), en el programa educativo la Guardia del Monte (GM), desarrollado por la comunidad de firmantes de paz en Caquetá, Colom…
The long hard road of reconciliation
The Colombian peace accords of 2016 involved a formal commitment to peace between the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia‐People's Army (FARC‐EP in Spanish) and the national government. Despite this advance, societal reconciliation and sustainable peace remain key challenges. Through a longitudinal qualitative design, we investigate the encounter between former guerrilla members and urban university students in a community‐based educational sp…
Who knows, who writes, and who decolonises? Dialogues about collaborative partnerships of a rural education initiative in post-accord Colombia
Recognition and preservation of local knowledge, practices, and ways of being are tenets of decolonial practices. However, understanding how, in which ways, and – mainly – who does the decolonial work is still unclear. The Education, Land, and Reconciliation Project (EDUCARE in Spanish) is an action-research initiative co-created between former guerrilla members who are reincorporating into Colombian society while building their new rural communi…
Gender, mental health and resilience in armed conflict
For over 60 years, Colombia has endured violent civil conflict forcibly displacing more than 8 million people. Recent efforts have begun to explore mental health consequences of these contexts, with an emphasis on national surveys. To date few Colombian studies explore mental health and well-being from a lived experience perspective. Those that do, overlook processes that enable survival. In response to this gap, we conducted a life history study…
Re-thinking recovery in post-conflict settings
Addressing mental health needs is a central focus of the Colombian Government's framework for socio-political reconstruction following over 60 years of conflict. Informed by WHO standards, country efforts utilise biopsychosocial models that prioritise individual psychological and psychiatric conditions. However, increasing scrutiny of the deployment of Western approaches to mental health and recovery in the global south suggests a need to explore…

Em Tempos De Despossessão, Precariedades Na Educação Como Política De Estado E No Peti Como Política De Governos
Analiso as relações entre a exploração do trabalho infanto-juvenil vincado na precariedade das políticas de Estado, particularizando Educação e Assistência Social, e a proliferação de políticas de governo na atualidade do processo capitalista de acumulação por despossessão 2 . Brevemente, situo os conceitos de infância e adolescência em diferentes estruturas apreendendo a maneira pela qual os lugares geracionais foram sendo expressos na batalha d…
Sexualities, teenage pregnancy and educational life histories in Portugal
This article focuses on Portuguese working-class teenage girls’ voices and experiences concerning sexuality and pregnancy. Within a sociological, feminist and educational framework, it explores the girls’ perspective on sexual and intimate citizenship as evidence of fairer forms of regulation of teenage sexualities. Through building life histories of three pregnant and teenage mothers, this article aims to understand how girls rehearse and live o…
Escuela y diversidad sexual
La propuesta del articulo es analizar la diversidad sexual y la homofobia en el medio educativo portugués, a través del estudio comparado resultante del proyecto "Sexualidades Juventudes e Gravidez Adolescente a Noroeste de Portugal" con los datos del informe sobre homofobia y transfobia del Observatorio de Educación LGBT. La metodología utilizada fue estudio cualitativo en el primero y cuantitativo en el segundo. De ambos trabajos se llega a la …
Cidadania, educação e responsabilidade social

Este texto revela conhecimento baseado em narrativas de uma jovem portuguesa e outra romena, de 17 e 19 anos, residentes em instituições de protecção social, devido a gravidez e mate…
