El Carnaval de los desencuentros. La construcción de los Derechos Humanos, sexuales y reproductivos en adolescentes

This work proposes to approach the interpretation of the social representations of sexual and reproductive rights of the adolescent population and of the institutions that guarantee them in three localities of Bogota. Through an integrated and interdisciplinary approach, research is conducted in the symbolic universe of adolescents on how they construct their daily behaviors and social practices in the field of sexuality and what is the institutional response of the educational and health sectors that interact with them. Finally, an alternative of work in the field of sexual and reproductive rights for adolescents is presented, which translates into educational communication. The research supports the work of health personnel responsible for current sexual and reproductive health programs, both in the field of service provision and insurance. It is useful for decision-makers at the local and national levels, as it offers the educational sector elements of reflection that help in the search for encounters with adolescents. It also provides these young people with support tools for their encounters with adults.
