“…A partir da análise, constatou-se que esse foi o tema que mais instigou as residentes. Tal fato pode estar associado com a fase da adolescência, pois é uma fase de grandes transformações nos âmbitos físico, hormonal, psicológico e social, gerando grande curiosidade por parte das adolescentes (26)(27)(28) . Em contrapartida, vive-se atualmente uma banalização do sexo por meio da erotização, que está presente nas residências por meio da televisão, dos jornais, do rádio, das revistas e principalmente da internet.…”

“…Sexuality can be defined as a person's sexual quality and orientation, the set of sexual-life phenomena, or also as an individual psycho-affective and sexual manifestation that transcends the basic biological base [sex], whose expression is normalized by current social values [14]. Adolescents are sexual beings, whether engaged in sexual intercourse or not.…”

Background: This is a quali-quantitative research and was conducted in a basic health unit aiming to investigate female adolescents' knowledge, practices and attitudes concerning sexuality. Methods:The action-research methodology was used to develop workshop activities because it is a participative methodology. The workshop was performed in two modules with the participation of 29 female adolescents, and data were collected by questionnaires addressing two groups of adolescents who had or had not begun sexual activity. Results:The representations about sexuality were related to sexual relationships and showed erroneous information concerning sexually transmitted infections, which makes the adolescents vulnerable. Many of them reported not to know anything about infections or contraceptive methods, to know about contraceptive pills and condoms and to have doubts about condom use, and when experiencing sexuality, gender manifestation was present in the adolescents' descriptions. Conclusion:Strict gender roles and a patriarchal and a chauvinistic social structure determine adolescents' behaviors that make them believe in two opposing worlds, the masculine and the feminine worlds. With this regard, identities are constructed in multiple institutions that produce and reproduce differences. Among such institutions, schools, families and the media are noteworthy, since, despite social and individual resistance movements, they impose behavioral models according to prevailing social practices and to the objectives of the consumer

“…These include providers' discomfort in discussing sexuality and/or substance use; social norms stipulating that individuals affected by STBBIs are to blame due to participation in activities deemed morally disreputable, such as sexual promiscuity or substance use; and organizational policies and procedures that inadvertently contribute to stigma. For example, within health and social service settings, intake forms do not always use inclusive language; there are often penalties for missed appointments; and staff sometimes lack training on issues related to cultural safety (practices designed to make the client/patient feel comfortable) and stigma reduction (3,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13). Moreover, STBBI stigma does not occur in isolation and can compound other forms of stigma and oppression, including stigma against injection drug use, stigma against sex work, racism, sexism and homophobia (5), ultimately resulting in experiences of layered stigma for individuals with more than one stigmatized identity.…”
