“…This stratification in awareness of the relevance and comfort in collecting sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) information is important, as it is recommended to collect and document SOGI as a component of addressing LGBTQ health disparities 3 , 43 , 44 However it is important to note that in states within the United States, as well other countries, disclosing LGBTQ status may not be safe. 45 - 48 Prior research indicates most patients are willing to discuss SOGI with healthcare providers and consider these topics important. 35 , 49 - 52 However, healthcare workers’ discomfort with seeking this information prevents its collection and documentation.…”

Background: The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) community experiences health disparities. It is thus imperative that medical trainees receive training in the care of LGBTQ community. The objective of this study was to identify gaps in knowledge and comfort among medical school students in providing care for the LGBTQ community. Methods: An online survey was administered to medical students at 3 institutions in the United States from December 2020 to March 2021. Using a Likert scale, the survey assessed attitudes, comfort, and knowledge in providing care for the LGBTQ community. The survey included questions for each specific LGBTQ population. Results were quantified using descriptive and stratified analyses, and an exploratory factor analysis was used to calculate attitude summary measure (ASM) scores. A total knowledge score was calculated, with higher values indicating greater knowledge. Results: Among the 300 medical students who completed the survey, the majority were female (55.7%), White (54.7%), and heterosexual (64.3%). The majority of medical students felt comfortable (strongly agree/agree) participating in the care of lesbian (94.3%), gay (96.0%), and bisexual (96.3%) patients; this percentage dropped to 82.3% for non-binary and 71.3% for transgender patients. Only 27.0% of medical students reported confidence in their knowledge of health needs of transgender patients. LGBTQ self-identification, percent of core rotations completed in school, region of country, and friends and/or family who are part of the LGBTQ community were significantly associated with various ASM scores. Knowledge questions yielded high percentages of “neutral” responses, and medical students who identified as LGBTQ had significantly higher total knowledge scores. Conclusions: Overall, the surveyed medical students feel comfortable and willing to provide care for LGBTQ persons. But, there is limited knowledge about specific LGBTQ health needs. More education and training in the needs of transgender and non-binary patients, in particular, is indicated.

“…However, beyond engendering self-love and stimulating psychological communality online, these Instagram users are also very pragmatic. Queer-identifying individuals are subjected to and contend with discriminatory practices that span healthcare, job and career opportunities, and wholesome representation in the public space [70][71][72]. Within these spaces, these individuals are denied their agency as opportunities which normally should be publicly available are denied them based on their (oftentimes perceived) sexual identities.…”

The body and its portrayal are significant to the politics of gender identity and sexuality. As Instagram constitutes a public domain for self- and group-representation, I appropriate its affordances in the interrogation of queer visibility and digital visual activism within the Nigerian queer community. The central assumption is that the images and their accompanying texts are ideology-laden and consequently become entrenched in the battle for visibility against heteronormativity. I pay attention to six purposively selected queer Nigerian Instagram handles and cull ten representative images for analysis. I integrate the contextual affordances of hashtags and photo-tagging in my discussion of how Instagram contributes to and nourishes public queer discourses in a homophobic space like Nigeria. I conclude that these images as semiotic resources facilitate the decryption of queer marginality and mainstream queer narratives digitally.

Data de recepção: 25/05/2022 Data de aceitação: 27/09/2023 Resumo A prostituição é um fenómeno social complexo. A sua análise é indissociável de uma abordagem de género, uma vez que a vasta maioria da população que se encontra nesta atividade são mulheres, quer tenham sido alvo de tráfico ou não. Este artigo pretende centrar-se numa abordagem sociojurídica do fenómeno da prostituição em que se atenda ao contexto social da mesma desde uma perspetiva cercana à Criminologia/Vitimologia quanto às políticas criminais e o tratamento jurídico do fenómeno. Neste sentido, o primeiro ponto abordado neste artigo será um breve contexto sobre os discursos que emergem da prostituição no contexto feministas, associando esta análise aos discursos feministas que emergem em torno desta atividade, por um lado, concetualizando-a como uma forma de violência e opressão contra as mulheres, e por outro, como uma regular atividade profissional desenvolvida no contexto da economia de mercado capitalista. Seguidamente iremos focar quais os modelos jurídicos existentes para lidar com este fenómeno, em especial em Portugal, desde uma análise histórica até mais atual, olhando para a sua aplicabilidade em diferentes países ainda hoje. Por último, iremos dissecar a questão do lenocínio acerca da sua aplicabilidade e constitucionalidade com posições e argumentos doutrinais e jurisprudenciais. O objetivo primordial deste artigo é realizar um debate acerca do modelo criminal que melhor possa lidar com a questão da prostituição ou do trabalho sexual. Pretende-se que o presente artigo tenha um contributo importante no debate legislativo acerca da questão do lenocínio no contexto português, debatendo a sua constitucionalidade e a sua eficácia enquanto norma sancionatória prevista no Código Penal Português. Pretende-se, de igual forma, que este artigo possa contribuir com diversos argumentos, refutando ou apoiando, a constitucionalidade do crime de lenocínio da ordem jurídica portuguesa, debate de imenso interesse para lidar com um fenómeno social bastante complexo.
