“…É possível que esse fato esteja relacionado com o pouco conhecimento e capacitação, por parte dos profissionais, para aplicar o modelo dialógico, conforme verificaram Figueiredo, Rodrigues-Neto e Leite (2010), ou ainda com o modelo de funcionamento de matriz conservadora e assistencialista, que permeou grande parte das ONG que desenvolviam atividade no âmbito da luta contra a aids, em Portugal, até aos anos 2000 (Lopes, 2001). Essas abordagens podem incorrer na imposição de discursos de solidariedade, empoderamento, autoestima e inclusão social (Agustín, 2007), tanto mais se tenderem a não incluir os(as) próprios(as) TS, enquanto agentes ativos, nos processos educativos.…”

Concluímos que as ações educativas são influenciadas pelas visões sobre a prostituição; incidem predominantemente na educação em saúde e, de forma menos expressiva, focalizam no desenvolvimento de competências sociais e no empoderamento. Não obstante a importância e a relevância do trabalho dessas organizações, evidencia-se a necessidade de uma avaliação mais estruturada e participada das ações, que devem promover a participação dos(as) trabalhadores(as) do sexo no planejamento, na implementação e na avaliação dos projetos que lhes são dirigidos.

“…Al mismo tiempo, las preocupaciones sobre la migración y la trata también son elementos centrales de cómo los estados neoliberales están gobernando la sexualidad (Agustín, 2003;Bernstein, 2007bBernstein, , 2012Kempado, 2005;O'Connell Davidson, 2006). Esta literatura revela una clara tendencia hacia un aumento en la represión estatal dirigida hacia poblaciones específicas y, a menudo en nombre de ayudar a las mujeres víctimas (Adams, 2003;Agustín, 2007;Bernstein, 2010;Outshoorn, 2005;Sharma, 2005). La gobernanza neoliberal se define por el uso selectivo y diferencial del poder represivo, con gestos hacia la libertad y la elección, lo cual funciona paralelamente a la represión de poblaciones específicas marcadas como "excepcionales" (ONG, 2006).…”

A partir de una investigación etnográfica en una clínica pública de prevención del VIH/SIDA, este artículo analiza la cambiante relación entre las trabajadoras del sexo y el Estado costarricense y destaca que el Estado se define por un movimiento significativo desde la represión colectiva hacia el individualismo neoliberal. A cambio de las redadas sanitarias indiscriminadas y el encarcelamiento masivo del pasado, el acto de esperar a los servicios de salud ahora juega un papel central en las interacciones entre las trabajadoras sexuales y el Estado neoliberal. Significativamente, la nueva representación de las trabajadoras sexuales como sujetos responsables por su propia salud incluye a las migrantes indocumentadas. Sin embargo, el efecto de la individualización como parte clave de las formaciones estatales neoliberales ha ocurrido de manera notoria en el sector de la salud pública, ya que el Estado sí hace una distinción importante entre las trabajadoras sexuales cuando hacen redadas de migración en el más notorio negocio del turismo sexual de San José. Las racionalidades neoliberales de gobernanza sexual separan y diferencian, y este artículo demuestra la forma en que el poder del Estado neoliberal opera tanto a través de la espera habitual en la clínica de prevención del VIH/ SIDA y como por el espectáculo de las redadas de migración. Este artículo finaliza interrogándose cómo el Estado costarricense ha abordado el control del trabajo sexual demuestra las incongruencias y contradicciones tanto de la formación como de la gobernanza neoliberal.Palabras clave: neoliberalismo; Estado; sexualidad; género. AbstractFocusing primarily on a public HIV/AIDS prevention clinic, this article considers the changing relationship between sex workers and the Costa Rican state, demonstrating that the state's approach to policing the sex industry has been defined by a shift from collective repression to neoliberal individualism. Instead of the indiscriminate sanitary raids and mass incarceration of the past, waiting for health care has come to play a central role in how sex workers interact with the neoliberal state. Significantly, this move towards making sex workers into individuals accountable for their own health has included undocumented migrants. However, the individualizing effect of neoliberal state formation has occurred specifically within the public health sector, as the state does make an important distinction between sex workers in its use of immigration raids at San José's most notorious sex tourism business. Neoliberal rationalities of sexual governance ultimately separate and differentiate, and this article demonstrates the ways in which neoliberal state power operates

“…Members of a cultural or linguistic minority may also be involved in activities that are illegal or stigmatized, for example sex workers (Agustín, 2007;Higgins, O'Reilly, Tashima, Crain, Beeker, Goldbaum et al, 1996) and drug users (Johnson & Delgado, 1989;Kalunta-Crumpton, 2004), and sexual minorities (Stueve, O'Donnell, Duran, San Doval, & Blome, 2001). For example, immigrant cultural or linguistic minorities may also be "undocumented" or in the host country illegally.…”

Hard-to-Survey Populations

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Cultural and linguistic minorities can be hard to survey either as the target population of interest or as a subpopulation of a general population survey. The challenges associated with studying these minorities are important to understand in order to assess and address the survey error that can be introduced when designing and implementing studies that include these groups. This chapter begins with a description of what constitutes cultural and linguistic minorities, based on a systematic review of the literature (see Chapter 5 in this volume, for a complete description of the process). We note that the literature in this area is largely limited to research among cultural and linguistic minorities in the context of Western and industrialized countries. Therefore, we supplement this literature by drawing upon our own experience and discussions with colleagues who conduct research among cultural and linguistic minorities in other parts of the world. This review is followed by a discussion of the potential challenges faced by researchers interested in surveying cultural and linguistic minorities and approaches taken to address these challenges in the areas of sampling, questionnaire development, adaptation and translation, pretesting, and data collection. We then discuss additional approaches to studying these hard-to-survey populations including qualitative, mixed-methods, and community-based research methods and how these can complement survey methods. The concluding section addresses needed improvements in the documentation and development of research methods to expand solutions and increase the quality of hard-to-survey cultural and linguistic minority research. Defining cultural and linguistic minoritiesThis section sets out the key features of cultural and linguistic minorities. Three core concepts are defined and discussed. First, we define minority populations followed by a discussion of linguistic and cultural minorities. The distinct concept of hard-to-survey is also relevant and discussed in this context (also see Chapter 1 in this volume). On the one hand, it is a relatively straightforward task to define these concepts; however, as we discuss below, applying these definitions in a survey context is far more complicated. Formal definitions serve as a good starting point for this discussion, however. 245https:/www.cambridge.org/core/terms. https://doi.
