- Domestic violence against LGBTI people: perspectives of Portuguese education professionalsPublication . Sousa, Edgar; Neves, Sofia; Ferreira, Mafalda; Topa, Joana; Vieira, Cristina Pereira; Borges, Janete S.; Rodrigo, Costa; André, LiraLesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex (LGBTI) people are more likely to be exposed to domestic violence than the rest of the population. Using a descriptive qualitative methodology, 28 professionals from the educational sector, aged between 28 and 64 years old (M = 44.5), were interviewed to describe and understand their perspectives on the sector’s ability to support, intervene and get involved with LGBTI people and, particularly, with victims or former victims of domestic violence. Through a thematic content analysis, three main themes emerged: (i) life trajectories of LGBTI people; (ii) domestic violence perpetrated against LGBTI people; and (iii) training of the educational sector to intervene with LGBTI people. The results show that Portuguese education professionals are not trained to recognize and intervene with LGBTI people and, in particular, with those who are victims of domestic violence, since they are unaware of the existence of protocols and/or guidelines for detecting and preventing risk situations among students. Furthermore, the curricular plan fails in the coverage of domestic violence and LGBTI-related topics, although the National Strategy for Citizenship Education has been implemented in Portugal since 2017. Findings suggest the need to invest in education professionals’ training.

- Evaluation of the lights4violence program: reduction in machismo and acceptance of violence among adolescents in EuropePublication . Pérez Martínez, Vanesa; Sanz-Aranguez, Belen; Ferrer, Rosario; Bowes, Nicola; Alba Pereira, Alba; Guadaño Sánchez, Miriam; Albaladejo-Blázquez, Natalia; Rosati, Nicoletta; Neves, Sofia; Vieira, Cristina Pereira; Jankowiak, Barbara; Jaskulska, Sylwia; Waszyńska, Katarzyna; Cuadrado Vives, Maria CarmenBackground: Machismo and acceptance of violence (AV) against women are part of the social construction of hegemonic masculinity and are related to the risk of dating violence. This study aims to analyze the efectiveness of the Lights4Violence program in reducing machismo and AV in secondary school students from diferent European cities. Methods: Quasi-experimental longitudinal study using a convenience sample of 1,146 high school students from diferent European cities (12–17 years old) including 575 intervention group students (59.1% girls) and 571 control group students (62.7% girls). We performed linear regression models to identify the efect of the intervention, model‑ling the diference in means in machismo and AV (dependent variables) between wave-2 and wave-1. Results: An interaction was identifed between the group variable and the empathy variable. In wave-2, girls with high empathy at baseline in the intervention group obtained lower mean AV scores (β: -0.131; p=0.004). However, the boys in the intervention group (reference: control group) with low empathy at baseline registered a signifcant increase in the mean values of machismo (β: 0.247; p<0.001). Conclusion: The importance of empathy is shown in the efectiveness of interventions to reduce machismo and AV in adolescents. While the Lights4Violence program focuses on promoting healthy relationships, there were some controversial results. It is possible that some children, especially those with less empathy, may have felt “challenged” during the intervention and/or assessment. This suggests the need for the development of interventions that also consider psychological processes and integrate the promotion of positive expressions of masculinity. Keywords: Machismo, Acceptance of violence, Empathy, Adolescents, Intervention, Intimate partner violence.
- Lights4Violence: a quasi-experimental educational intervention in six European countries to promote positive relationships among adolescentsPublication . Vives-Cases, Carmen; Davo-Blanes, M. C.; Ferrer-Cascales, R.; Sanz-Barbero, B.; Albaladejo-Blázquez, N.; Sánchez-San Segundo, M.; Lillo-Crespo, M.; Bowes, N.; Neves, S.; Mocanu, V.; Carausu, E. M.; Pyżalski, J.; Forjaz, M. J.; Chmura-Rutkowska, I.; Vieira, Cristina Pereira; Corradi, C.Background: Preventing intimate partner violence or dating violence (DV) among adolescents is a public health priority due to its magnitude and damaging short and long-term consequences for adolescent and adult health. In our study protocol, we complement prior experiences in DV prevention by promoting protective factors (or assets) against gender violence such as communication skills, empathy and problem-solving capability through “Cinema Voice”, a participatory educational intervention based on adolescents’ strengths to tackle DV. Methods/design: A longitudinal quasi-experimental educational intervention addressed to boys and girls ages 13–17 years, enrolled in secondary education schools in Alicante (Spain), Rome (Italy), Cardiff (UK), Iasi (Romania), Poznan (Poland) and Matosinhos (Portugal). Both process and results evaluations will be carried out with 100–120 intervention and 120–150 control group students per city at three time periods: before, after and 6 months after the implementation of the following interventions: 1) Training seminar with teachers to promote knowledge and skills on the core issues of intervention; 2) Workshops with intervention groups, where participants produce their own digital content presenting their perspective on DV; and 3) Short film exhibitions with participants, their families, authorities and other stakeholders with the objective of share the results and engage the community. Outcome measures are self-perceived social support, machismo, sexism, tolerance towards gender violence, social problem-solving and assertiveness as well as involvement in bullying/cyberbullying. Other socio-demographic, attitudes and violence-related co-variables were also included. Discussion: This study may provide relevant information about the effectiveness of educational interventions that combine a positive youth development framework with educational awareness about the importance of achieving gender equality and preventing and combating gender violence. To our knowledge, this is the first study that involves six European countries in an educational intervention to promote violence protective assets among enrolled adolescents in secondary schools. This study may provide the needed tools to replicate the experience in other contexts and other countries.
- Lógicas de risco na experiência da sexualidade juvenilPublication . Vieira, Cristina PereiraO domínio da contraceção é um campo de ambiguidades entre as forças modernas de racionalização (representadas pelo uso do preservativo aconselhado pela medicina para prevenir o risco de IST/sida), as forças morais subjetivas (representadas pela confiança na fidelidade do/a parceiro/a) e os preconceitos sociais (representados pelo medo da gravidez pré-conjugal). Claramente, a opção de contraceção funciona no modelo relacional. O artigo apresenta dados de estudo empírico com jovens portugueses(as), pela técnica de grupos de discussão. A análise dos dados mostra como nas racionalidades leigas a avaliação dos riscos na sexualidade (aqui referidos relativamente à IST/sida e à gravidez), a lógica da contraceção e as opções que dela emergem aparecem incrustadas a valores, símbolos e significados que ultrapassam a lógica da racionalidade científica e que justificam uma não total adesão à normatividade. O que nos leva pensar que as campanhas de promoção da saúde sexual e reprodutiva, em particular quando dirigidas aos jovens, não devem atender unicamente a um saber pericial, técnico ou especializado que informa o indivíduo, sem ter presente o conhecimento leigo.
- 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.
- Sexualidad juvenil, riesgo y prevención, en el contexto la educación sexual, en PortugalPublication . Vieira, Cristina PereiraEm Portugal, principalmente nas últimas três décadas, têm sido aprovadas Leis que estabelecem ao Estado a garantia ao direito à educação sexual como componente de direito fundamental à educação. Neste sentido, são regulamentadas normas que determinam que os programas escolares incluam, de acordo com os diferentes níveis de ensino, conhecimentos científicos no domínio da prevenção. Subjacente ao contexto desta socialização preventiva, procuramos perceber que lógicas determinam e regulam as práticas e as opções preventivas (especificamente da gravidez e do VIH/sida), a partir do quotidiano relacional dos/das Jovens. Adotando a metodologia qualitativa, esta pesquisa recaiu na técnica de investigação focus group. Participaram neste estudo 54 jovens portugueses, entre os 17 e os 25 anos de idade. Os resultados da investigação deixam perceber que as distintas vivências da sexualidade, assentes nas expectativas de género, produzem, medos e riscos diferenciados; o domínio da prevenção é um campo de ambiguidades entre as forças modernas de racionalização e as forças morais subjetivas, deixando perceber que claramente no âmbito da contracepção a opção surge primeiro associada à categorização atribuída ao modelo relacional e só depois à racionalidade biomédica.
- O suporte social na transição e inclusão dos estudantes em ErasmusPublication . Castanheira, Carlos Augusto; Jardim, Jacinto; Oliveira, Carlos MiguelA literatura é escassa no que concerne ao Suporte Social na vida académica e em particular nos alunos que convivem com o programa de mobilidade ERASMUS. Colocámos como questões de investigação: (i) As dificuldades associadas aos estudantes face ao ERASMUS estão relacionadas com o Suporte Social? (ii) Quais as dimensões do Suporte Social que interferem na adaptação e inclusão do aluno em ERASMUS? Procurámos respostas numa investigação empírica quantitativa de caráter exploratório. A amostra foi constituída por 413 alunos do Ensino Superior em Portugal que responderam ao questionário socioacadémico e à Escala de Satisfação com o Suporte Social (ESSS). Os resultados obtidos permitem-nos evidenciar que o Suporte Social demonstrou ser eficaz no processo de adaptação e inclusão em ERASMUS. A comunicação verbal entre os alunos revestiu-se de particular importância, facilitando as dimensões do Suporte Social. São referidas implicações no sentido de promover o desenvolvimento da autonomia e bem-estar dos alunos em ERASMUS, através de mecanismos potenciadores do Suporte Social.
- “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.
