UZIEL, Anna Paula  and  BERZINS, Felix Augusto Jacobson. Adolescence, autonomy and sexual rights: fragments of stories of girls living in shelters. Psicol. clin. [online]. 2012, vol.24, n.1, pp.105-115. ISSN 0103-5665.

The relationship between autonomy, adolescence and sexual rights raises important issues for daily residential care institutions. Sexually active adolescents who have been sheltered challenge us about our moral values regarding sexuality. This article discusses prospects for the exercise of sexuality and sexual rights among adolescent girls in situations of host institution, based on the notion of autonomy developed in state institutions as a strategy for protection.

Keywords : adolescence; autonomy; sexual rights.
