Abstract

Nowadays, sexuality, youth pregnancy and parenthood are subjects of great complexity and are relevant for education, in the global modernity debate, concerning rights, regulation and public social control issues. This paper focuses girls’ biographical narratives, with seventeen to nineteen years old, living in social protection institutions due to youth pregnancy and maternity. Therefore, their perspectives produced inside the institutions reveal their subjectivities and paths lived before and during the custody experience. The argument establishes the relations between (sexual) citizenship and education, based on each singular path and its social relationships.There are obvious manifestations that relate gender and power, such as: the disconnection prior school; sexualities unprepared, the difficulty in negotiating safe sex.
