Offering an overview of ongoing sexual rights and policies in Brazil, the document Sexual Rights and Policies in Brazil: The Current Panorama, authored by anthropologist Adriana Vianna and social scientist Paula Lacerda, presents the results of research conducted in 2003 and 2004. Besides tracing the trajectory of sexual rights at the international level, reflecting on how certain conventions and treaties impact the Brazilian context, the text provides access to updated information on laws, public policies, and jurisprudence regarding so-called sexual rights in Brazil. These include topics such as sexual orientation, reproductive rights, sexual violence, AIDS, and others. This document is the first in a series of assessments that CLAM has been producing in the Latin American region.
