Abstract(s)
A violência sexual em ambientes de lazer noturno (ALN) e em contextos festivos é uma preocupação crescente, sendo perpetuada por assimetrias de género e normas hegemónicas que naturalizam comportamentos abusivos e perpetuam relações desiguais de poder. Esta investigação teve como objetivo explorar as perceções de jovens sobre o papel dessas substâncias na dinâmica de vitimização sexual, com um foco particular no álcool e outras substâncias, bem como nas normas culturais de género que moldam comportamentos e atitudes nesses ambientes. O estudo adotou uma abordagem qualitativa, utilizando grupos de discussão com jovens para explorar as suas perceções e experiências. Os resultados revelaram que tanto mulheres quanto homens percebem o álcool como um fator facilitador da vitimização, que amplifica a vulnerabilidade das vítimas e a agressividade dos agressores. As mulheres que participaram neste estudo reportaram adotar mais estratégias de proteção e “vigilância sexual” para prevenir a violência sexual, evidenciando as expectativas sociais que as responsabilizam pela sua própria segurança. Já os homens, embora reconhecendo o uso de substâncias em ALN, tendem a minimizar os impactos da violência sexual, especialmente em casos sem danos físicos visíveis. O estudo também evidenciou a normalização do consumo de álcool e a adulteração de bebidas como fatores que agravam a exposição ao risco. Este estudo reforça a necessidade de se implementarem campanhas de sensibilização mais inclusivas e estratégias de prevenção que desafiem os estereótipos de género, promovam o consentimento explícito e responsabilizem os agressores. A pesquisa sugere que é essencial a implementação de políticas públicas claras, educação contínua e medidas de proteção mais eficazes em ALN para reduzir a incidência de violência sexual e criar espaços mais seguros e equitativos para todos.
Sexual victimization in nightlife environments and festive contexts is an increasing concern, perpetuated by gender asymmetries and hegemonic norms that normalize abusive behaviors and sustain unequal power relations. This research aimed to explore young people's perceptions of the role of these substances in the dynamics of sexual victimization, with a particular focus on alcohol and other substances, as well as the gender cultural norms that shape behaviors and attitudes in these settings. The study adopted a qualitative approach, using focus groups with young people to explore their perceptions and experiences. The results revealed that both women and men perceive alcohol as a facilitating factor for victimization, amplifying the vulnerability of victims and the aggressiveness of perpetrators. The women who participated in this study reported adopting more protective strategies and "sexual vigilance" to prevent sexual violence, highlighting the social expectations that hold them responsible for their own safety. Men, on the other hand, while acknowledging substance use in nighttime leisure environments, tend to downplay the impacts of sexual violence, especially in cases without visible physical harm. The study also highlighted the normalization of alcohol consumption and drink spiking as factors that increase exposure to risk. This study reinforces the need to implement more inclusive awareness campaigns and prevention strategies that challenge gender stereotypes, promote explicit consent, and hold perpetrators accountable. The research suggests that it is essential to implement clear public policies, continuous education, and more effective protection measures in nighttime leisure environments to reduce the incidence of sexual violence and create safer and more equitable spaces for everyone.
