DIAZ AMAYA, Javier Guillermo; BARRIOS ACOSTA, Miguel and VASQUEZ ROJAS, Rafael. Upbringing and Sexuality in Children from Marginal Prostitute Women Downtown in Bogotá. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2012, vol.41, n.3, pp.562-575. ISSN 0034-7450.
Introduction: Child upbringing of women engaged in prostitution has been little explored. Methods: Child upbringing beliefs, attitudes and practices regarding sexuality in prostitutes' children and adolescents were explored downtown in Bogota. Analytical-interpretive research included in-depth interviews and a focus group. There were ten women between 28 and 56 years of age. Core issues were their subjectivity as mothers, sexual development challenges, upbringing social and cultural conditions. Results: Structural, symbolic and economic violence are the main determinants of parenting. Sexual abuse and the possibility of pregnancy in their adolescent daughters are the most important concerns. Conclusions: In general, the participants share the same values and reproduce traditional ideals in gender and sexuality, which are transmitted and modeled from upbringing.
Keywords : Upbringing; sexuality; prostitution; structural violence.
