Muitos jovens enfrentam desafios que os impedem de desfrutar plenamente dos seus direitos e do acesso à igualdade de oportunidades (Ferreira, sd).Neste sentido têm surgido vários movimentos e iniciativas com o intuito de combater a desigualdade, nomeadamente a que se verifica entre géneros. Neste âmbito, a literatura tem indicado existir uma relação entre a influência do suporte social e o envolvimento neste tipo de iniciativas (Pancer, Rose-Krasnor, & Loiselle 2002), tal como tem evidenciado que o ativismo de género parece estar associado a um impacto positivo na vida dos jovens ativistas (e.g., Checkoway, 2010; Friedman & Ayres 2013). Em linha com uma evidência relativamente escassa sobre este assunto, o presente estudo tem como objetivos compreender a influência que o suporte social exerce na participação no ativismo de género de acordo com a perspetiva de jovens ativistas de género, bem como, compreender o impacto percebido do ativismo de género em jovens portugueses. Este estudo contou com a participação de um total de 20 jovens, com idades compreendidas entre os 17 e os 32 anos de idade. Este estudo segue uma metodologia qualitativa sendo utilizado um guião de entrevista semiestruturado. Os resultados deste estudo sublinham a importância da influência do suporte social no envolvimento dos jovens no ativismo de género, sendo que esta influência foi identificada, pela maioria dos participantes, como positiva. É relevante mencionar, também, que o impacto do ativismo de género é reportado como sendo sobretudo positivo em diversas áreas da vida dos jovens ativistas.
Many young people face challenges that prevent them from fully enjoy their access to equal opportunities (Ferreita, sd). Several movements and initiatives aiming to fight gender inequality have emerged. In the literature it is evidenced an association between the influence of social support and the engagement with this type of initiatives (Pancer, Rose-Krasnor & Loiselle 2002). Furthermore, gender activism appears to be associated with a positive impact in the lives of young activists (e.g., Checkoway, 2010; Friedman & Ayres 2013). Therefore, the present study aims to understand the influence that social support exerts in the participation in gender activism, according to the perspective of young gender activists, as well as to understand the perceived (positive or negative) impact of gender activism in gender activists’ lives. In this study participated a total of 20 young people, aged between 17 and 32 years. The study follows a qualitative methodology and uses a semi-structured interview. The results of this study report the influence of social support on the activists' involvement in gender activism, and this influence was identified by most of participants as being positive. It is also relevant to mention that in the results the impact of gender activism is reported to be mostly positive in various areas of young activists’ life.
