En las últimas cinco décadas se han alcanzado logros significativos en el reconocimiento de derechos de los sectores lgbti, desde una apuesta por la “diversidad sexual y de género”. Estos logros se han dado gracias a las políticas sexuales que, mediante reformas para la inclusión, han beneficiado parte de los sectores sociales en mención, sin que se hayan generado transformaciones en el orden heterosexual y patriarcal, en el marco del capitalismo neoliberal. En ese sentido, la diversidad sexual, aunque ha posibilitado logros, también ha mostrado sus limitaciones. En este artículo se evidencian algunas de esas limitaciones y se plantean las “disidencias sexuales, de género y corporales”, como alternativa para retomar luchas de manera articulada, parafraseando a Wittig, “con muchos otros diferentes, todas las mujeres y numerosas categorías de hombres” (2006, p. 53), para pensar y actuar por cambios estructurales. From Sexual and Gender Diversity (lgbti) to Sexual, Gender and Corporal Dissidences. Necessary and Unavoidable Transitions Abstract: Significant achievements towards the recognition of rights of lgbti segments have been reached over the last five decades, from the perspective of “sexual and gender diversity”. Within the scope of sexual policies through reforms for the inclusion, these achievements have benefited part of the aforementioned social segments, without transforming the heterosexual and patriarchal order in the framework of the neoliberal capitalism. In that sense, sexual diversity, though providing achievements, has also shown its limitations. In this article, we show some of these limitations and we propose the “sexual, gender and corporal dissidences” as an alternative that resumes the struggles in an articulate way, with many other different people, women and various men categories, in order to rethink and take action for structural changes. Keywords: sexual and gender diversity, sexual, gender and corporal dissidences, sexual policies, lgbti human rights.

The University

The concepts of gender and sex have been considered in recent literature as elements of power, under the circumstance of contemporary floating constructions. In the field of Education, a “deconstructed”, non-normative look is needed as a political act on issues of sexual diversity and gender. The curriculum as a culture can and must take a Queer view at school. In this research we intend to make a comparative study on sexual and gender diversity in the academic environment, listening to the voices of students from the University of Madeira and the Federal University of Sergipe. In this way, we emphasize coeducation in the construction of inclusive environments and their contribution in the field of pedagogical innovation. The discussion of these themes in the academy is fundamental for the conceptual renewal and the organizational contexts of the practice of pedagogy. It also contributes to important changes in social agendas.

This research takes up the challenge of interpreting the two newest grounds of human rights protection across Canada – gender identity and gender expression – for professional practice in early childhood education. To date, no human rights tribunal ruling on these grounds has engaged early childhood education, and while the legal duty remains for early childhood educators to provide an environment free of gender-identity and gender-expression discrimination, the Ontario profession’s governing bodies have provided no explicit guidance as to how. This research bridges early years educators’ new and likely unfamiliar legal responsibilities in relation to both grounds and everyday life in early years contexts. The findings demonstrate that ample support exists within the profession’s key guiding documents for ‘gender-expansive’ practice, or an approach to teaching children and supporting their development that both expects and sustains gender diversity. A similar analysis of guiding documents is needed internationally.

Diversity of sexual orientation appears to be universal throughout human history. This article explores gender and sexual diversity of non-Aboriginal and traditional First Nations groups in North America, and the reclamation of traditional roles and identities by contemporary two-spirits. This article argues that social workers, as well as various other human service professionals stand to improve the quality of their practice by seeking deeper understanding of sexual and gender diversity through exploration of historic First Nation traditions of two-spirit roles as well as the intersecting multiple oppressions impacting two-spirits in urban, rural and reserve locations.

Conceptual Overview

This article traces the origins, evolution, and effects of LGBT advocacy by nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in global forums. In particular, the article focuses on LGBT advocacy in intergovernmental organizations such as the United Nations. The first section provides a historical overview and traces the rise of LGBT NGOs—as well as the transnational networks linking them—from the interwar period to the present day. In doing so, this section discusses the strategies that such organizations have leveraged to gain clout and highlights how LGBT issues have gained salience and have generated contestation within UN human rights bodies and mechanisms. The second section provides a conceptual overview of how advocates have advanced LGBT issues and discusses how the frames of sexual and reproductive health rights, public health and HIV/AIDS, and, increasingly, LGBT human rights have been leveraged by NGOs to legitimize and to further propel LGBT advocacy. Finally, the third section discusses some of the challenges facing global LGBT advocacy. In particular, this section highlights North–South power inequalities in shaping and driving a global advocacy agenda and the tensions arising from limited emphasis on non-Western notions of sexual and gender diversity. This section concludes with a discussion of new directions in LGBT advocacy, highlighting in particular the increased efforts to combine human rights advocacy with inclusive development policy.

La penalización del aborto forma parte de la violencia de género y representa una violación a los derechos humanos de las mujeres. El proyecto de Ley para la despenalización del aborto, presentado en Chile el año 2015, ha vuelto a poner en el debate esta materia de alta relevancia para resguardar los derechos y la salud de las mujeres. En los últimos años, se han realizado una serie de estudios en torno al nivel de aprobación de las tres causales que incluye el proyecto de Ley (peligro para la vida de la madre, inviabilidad del feto, y violación). No obstante, no se ha profundizado en la opinión de las mujeres sobre su decisión de interrumpir un embarazo no deseado por estas causales o por otras razones. El presente artículo pretende conocer el nivel de acuerdo de las mujeres con la despenalización del aborto pero, principalmente, busca indagar en las acciones que tomarían frente a la posibilidad de un aborto. The criminalization of abortion is part of gender violence and represents a violation of human rights of women. The draft law to decriminalize abortion, presented in Chile in 2015, has again put in the debate this highly relevant issue to protect the rights and health of women. In the last few years, a series of studies have reported the level of approval of the three causes included in the draft law (preservation of the mother’s life, unviability of the fetus, and rape). Nevertheless, there have been no in depth studies regarding the opinion of women about their decisions to interrupt an unwanted pregnancy, for these causes or for other reasons. This article aims to fill this gap and establish the level of agreement of women about the decriminalization of abortion. It also inquiries on the actions women would take when facing the possibility of an abortion.

The main purpose of this article is to analyse how healthcare providers in Portugal perceive asexuality. To do so, the author makes use of qualitative data from both the CILIA LGBTQI+ Lives project and The Asexual Revolution doctoral research on asexuality in Portugal, namely, a focus group conducted with healthcare providers, drawing from their assessment of interview excerpts with people identifying as asexual. The data were explored according to thematic analysis and revealed three major tendencies: (1) old tropes at the doctor’s office; (2) narratives of willingness to learn about the subject; and (3) constructive and encouraging views of asexuality. From this analysis, valuable lessons can be drawn concerning the respect for gender and sexual diversity. The author argues that both formal and informal learning play an important role in building cultural competence among healthcare providers. This could be achieved both by introducing sexual and gender diversity in curricula in HE and through media exposure on these subjects. Overall, it will lead to building knowledge and empathy about marginalised groups, and will help fight inequalities of LGBTQI+ people in healthcare. As such, LGTBQI+ activism that puts the topics of asexuality and LGBTQI+ in the media agenda, is a powerful strategy. Hence, because healthcare providers show willingness to learn, the media becomes a source for learning about asexual and LGTBQI+ experiences, which they can incorporate in their medical practice.

The United Nations human rights system has recognized rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual,  transgender and intersex individuals (LGBTI), with key decisions in 2011 and 2016. To what  extent are the rights of these groupings respected in Southeast Asia? The visibility of LGBTI is  low in Southeast Asia and government attitudes vary.  Criminal laws, both secular and Sharia,  in some jurisdictions, have prohibitions, but active enforcement is rare. Discrimination in employment is prohibited by law in Thailand and in local laws in the Philippines. Change of  legal ‘sex’ for transgender individuals is sometimes possible. Legal recognition of same-sex relationships has been proposed in Thailand and the Philippines, but not yet enacted. Marriage has been opened to same-sex couples in neighboring Taiwan. Laws on adoption and surrogacy generally exclude same-sex couples. So-called ‘normalizing surgery’ on intersex babies needs to be deferred to the child’s maturity, to protect their health and rights.

It is necessary for the university environment to contribute to the improvement of the attention paid to affective-sexual, bodily, and gender diversity. This research deals with how, by means of a teaching innovation program, competences for affective-sexual diversity were developed. Specifically, negative attitudes towards diversity, knowledge, and degree of empathy on these issues before and after the implementation of the program are compared. The degree of satisfaction, perceived usefulness, and fulfillment of the objectives proposed in the program were also evaluated. An ex post facto design was used. The participants in this study were 129 students belonging to Educational Sciences and Psychology, out of 2400 who benefited from the innovation program. The results showed an increase in competences related to the attention to diversity, with the improvement of attitudes and knowledge about affective-sexual diversity after the application of the program. It is concluded that this type of innovation program, with quality training, contributes to the improvement of coexistence and the prevention of gender violence in university classrooms, eliminating stereotypes and negative attitudes towards diversity.
