This article proposes an analysis of the effeminate gay urban experience, paying special attention to the particularities of such experiences, confrontations, and disputes over city spaces. Data was collected using an electronic form that was filled in by 240 cisgender gay men and 8 semistructured interviews with 8 selfdeclared effeminate gay men. Our results showed that effeminate, poor, black, peripheral and young gays experience a greater degree of vulnerability in encounters with/in the city and experience the city in a more negative and fearful way, especially in public spaces. These data reinforce the importance of the intersectional lens and the markers of difference in understanding this phenomenon. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Quilombola populations have historically been affected by broad social inequalities, which generate vulnerabilities in various areas of daily life, associated with mental health and the production of psychic suffering. This paper aims to discuss the incidence of common mental disorders from the perspective of Social Determination of Health. A sociodemographic questionnaire, the Self-Reporting Questionnaire (SRQ-20), and a semi-structured interview in a rural quilombola community were applied. It was observed that the experiences of psychological suffering are related to social inequalities, the scarcity of community support strategies and of culturally sensitive reception and care possibilities in the psychosocial care network, as well as being unequally present between men and women. Institutional racism is revealed in health practices that perpetuate the inequalities affecting black and rural populations. These elements impact and reveal the intrinsic articulation between gender, race, class and mental health. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this study is to identify patterns of alcohol consumption among men and women in a Quilombola - Maroon community in Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. We aim understand the reasons for alcohol use, identify strategies, care resources and social support. As instruments we used: socio-demographic questionnaire (64 families), AUDIT and semistructured interviews (N=12). We identified a greater abuse of alcohol in men (50.1%. N=61) than women (8.2% N=32). Findings about the reasons for alcohol consumption by the men were related to socialization strategies, social approval and pleasure, and for the women as a resource for solving problems and dealing with living conditions. There was little recognition of social support, a lack of seeking out health services, as care strategies and forms of help were found in religious or familial dimensions. We conclude that the living conditions aligned to the social spaces of gender influence alcohol consumption patterns. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We aim to discuss the forms of political participation by rural quilombola women, considering their insertion spaces, the challenges faced by them and the effects produced in dayly life. Therefore, we conducted semi-structured interviews as a tactic of data production. The main instances of participation by women are social movements, trade unions, local residents' associations and religious groups. In these spaces, they contribute as listeners and in monthly financial aid to unions and residents' associations. The women point to difficulties related to the traditional gender roles, as well as the ones of a material order, such as lack of transportation, making participation in events impossible, and communitary demobilization. Repercussions were found in the political participation in terms of improvements to life conditions, the acquisition of new knowledges and the changes made in family and community relations. The ethnic and racial identity and racism were matters that were not touched upon at length as far as the content treated in the instances of political participation goes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
