History

Sexuality, Health and Society – Latin American Journal was created in 2009 with the mission of promoting dialogue between researchers and academics dedicated to studies on sexuality and gender in different Latin American social contexts. With the active participation of specialists from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, it was conceived within the scope of the Latin American Center for Sexuality and Human Rights (CLAM), based since 2003 at the Institute of Social Medicine (IMS) of the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ).

From the perspective of the human and social sciences, the Journal has published throughout its history empirical research results and academic reflections on sexuality and gender in their social, political, legal, cultural and public health dimensions. Its editorial line is committed to the defense of human rights and throughout its history has sought to disseminate critical approaches to the different forms of discrimination and violence related to practices, norms and social conventions relating to sexuality and gender relations, in their connections with other forms of inequality and social hierarchies, such as those of class, race, generation, national origin, among others.

In addition to the resources provided by the Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ) and its Institute of Social Medicine (IMS), Sexuality, Health and Society has received support from national and international research funding agencies, such as the Rio de Janeiro State Research Support Foundation (FAPERJ), the National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq), the Ford Foundation of Brazil, the Institute for Applied Economic Research (IPEA) and the Center for Study and Research in Public Health (CEPESC).

Given its commitment to the broadest circulation of scientific knowledge, Sexuality, Health and Society has managed to remain an open access journal over the years, without charging publication fees.
