- Bullying homofóbico: crenças e práticas de estudantes do ensino superior em PortugalPublication . Neves, Sofia; Borges, Janete; Vieira, Cristina Pereira; Sousa, AnaO presente estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar as crenças e as práticas de um grupo de 369 estudantes do Ensino Superior português, 282 do sexo feminino e 84 do sexo masculino, com uma média de idades de 21.49, relativamente ao bullying homofóbico. A partir do preenchimento de uma ficha sociodemográfica e de três Inventários, concluiu-se que os homens praticam e sofrem mais bullying homofóbico do que as mulheres. Os/As estudantes portugueses/as que praticam comportamentos violentos contra pessoas lésbicas e gays (LG) apresentam crenças mais conservadoras sobre a orientação sexual LG e sobre o género do que os/as que não praticam. As pessoas que revelam crenças sobre a orientação sexual LG mais conservadoras são também aquelas que revelam crenças de género mais conservadoras (r=0.423, p<0.001). Os homens revelam crenças sobre a orientação sexual LG mais conservadoras (t(102.046)=-4.908,p<.001), sendo também os que praticam mais violência contra pessoas LG.

- Sexual violence against LGBT people in Portugal: experiences of Portuguese victims of domestic violencePublication . Neves, Sofia; Ferreira, Mafalda; Sousa, Edgar; Costa, Rodrigo; Rocha, Helena; Topa, Joana; Vieira, Cristina Pereira; Borges, Janete; Silva, Lourenço; Allen, Paula; Resende, Ivo; Lira, AndréLesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans (LGBT) people are more likely to be exposed to domestic violence when compared with others. Using a qualitative methodology, 16 LGBT people were interviewed to analyze their experiences as victims of sexual violence by family members and/or partners or former partners. Through a thematic content analysis, three main themes emerge regarding sexual violence: (i) dynamics of sexual violence; (ii) traumatic memories and dissociation episodes from sexual violence, and (iii) risk factors for the occurrence of sexual violence. The results show that participants have suffered sexual violence in childhood, adulthood, or both, with trans people being the most victimized. Coercion, manipulation, threats, and deprivation were the most common strategies used to restrict victims and prevent them from reporting the crime. Many participants report blocking their traumatic memories, as a coping mechanism related to the sexual violence suffered. Offender substance abuse, early age of victims at the time of their sexual victimization, and depressive symptoms were reported to increase the likelihood of an episode of sexual violence. It is necessary to assure specialized training among the professionals that work with LGBT victims of sexual violence within domestic contexts, considering the severe impacts they may face.
- “We are tired”: the sharing of unpaid work between immigrant women and men in PortugalPublication . Silva, Estefânia; Casemiro, Casimiro; Vieira, Cristina Pereira; Costa, Paulo Manuel; Topa, Joana; Neves, Sofia; Borges, Janete; Sousa, MafaldaIn this article, we intend to understand and discuss how immigrant men and women living in Portugal perceive their contributions to the performance of unpaid work and how they try to deal with the situation of the greater burden on women. To this end, a qualitative methodology was used to conduct an exploratory study with 10 focus groups of immigrant men and women in five regions of the country: North, Centre, Lisbon, Alentejo and Algarve. The participants, 43 females and 27 males, were aged between 19 and 80 years. From the discourse of the immigrant participants in this study, it could be concluded that the division of unpaid work between immigrant women and men is not equal, as their statements evidenced a greater responsibility and overload on women. From a traditional vision of gender roles, a persistent dichotomy of two worlds could be perceived, based on a “naturalized” vision of the social roles of gender and on a distribution grounded in biological differences. In parallel, discourses show a change in the sharing of household chores and childcare. However, this does not always occur regularly and appears very much associated with the entry of women into the paid labour market.
