| description | In this article, we reflect upon sexual practices, contraception and voluntary abortion among low-income women from Salvador based on the results of a survey conducted to identify and analyze processes of women’s empowerment. This involves making strategic decisions and, as such, taking greater control over their bodies and lives. While following this notion of empowerment, we sought to learn how (353) women of different generations residing in Plataforma, in the outskirts of the city, identify and have made use of the resources and conditions at hand to make strategic choices. In this discussion, we limit ourselves to analyzing quantitative data on women’s sexual and reproductive lives by focusing on: a) age at first sexual relation; b) number of partners; c) importance of sex and orgasm to women; d) habit of masturbation; e) safe sex; f) contraceptive methods; and g) voluntary abortion. |

Empowerment and sexual practices Contraception and voluntary abortion Women of the working classes Bahia Empoderamento e práticas sexuais Contracepção e aborto provocado Mulheres de camadas populares Bahia In this article, we reflect upon sexual practices, contraception and voluntary abortion among low-income women from Salvador based on the results of a survey conducted to identify and analyze processes of women’s empowerment. This involves making strategic decisions and, as such, taking greater control over their bodies and lives. While following this notion of empowerment, we sought to learn how (353) women of different generations residing in Plataforma, in the outskirts of the city, identify and have made use of the resources and conditions at hand to make strategic choices.

Este artigo discute práticas sexuais, contracepção e aborto provocado entre mulheres das camadas populares de Salvador, com base em uma pesquisa sobre processos de empoderamento de mulheres através das gerações. Por empoderamento, entende-se aqui a conquista do controle sobre “nossos corpos e nossas vidas”, incluindo-se aí o exercício pleno da sexualidade. Dentro dessa perspectiva, procurou-se conhecer como (353) mulheres de diferentes gerações, residentes no Subúrbio de Plataforma, vêm avançando nesse sentido. Oferece-se, nos limites deste trabalho, apenas a análise dos dados quantitativos referentes à sua vida sexual e reprodutiva em termos de: a) idade na primeira relação sexual; b) número de parceiros; c) importância do sexo e do orgasmo para as mulheres; d) hábito da masturbação; e) controle sobre o corpo e sexo seguro; f) métodos contraceptivos; g) aborto provocado. 2012-04-04 2022-03-18T18:33:14Z 2022-03-18T18:33:14Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4928 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/63125 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/estudos/article/view/4928/4117 Copyright (c) 2012 Estudos de Sociologia application/pdf FCL-UNESP Laboratório Editorial Estudos de Sociologia; v. 17 n. 32 (2012): Dossiê: Aborto, objeto da pesquisa social 1982-4718 1414-0144 |
