TO EDUCATE SEXUAL-AFFECTIVE RELATIONSHIPS, TO PREVENT THE DIFFERENT KINDS OF GENDER VIOLENCE

The different kinds that gender violence adopts keep on being one of the most flagrant problems of any society even at the beginning of the 21st century. In order to eradicate it, it becomes crucial the work of intervention through sexual-affective education. This is the thesis I defend in this paper, which I will illustrate by means of an experience between sociological research and educational action: a workshop for the prevention of gender violences within a course of sexual-affective education for adolescents. Thereby, I will try to cover two objectives: to describe and to reflect on an example of educational intervention to prevent gender violence in adolescents and, starting from it, to defend sexual-affective education as a fundamental tool in contributing to the formation of sexual-affective relations among adolescents based on two inseparable premises: sexual and gender equality and noviolence.
