Item type:Publication, Experiences of menstruation and schooling among female adolescents in Peru: Contributions from an ecological and gender perspective(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2022-01-01)This study focuses on the relationship between menstruation and the schooling experience of female adolescents in Peru from an ecological and gender approach. Qualitative data were collected from rural and urban areas through individual interviews and participatory activities with 277 participants, including adolescents and key informants. The participants were chosen through convenience sampling in 11 schools. The results were tripartite: (1) most adolescents experience fear and shame related to menstruation because of gender meanings about the menstrual body; (2) there is bullying and aggression associated with menstruation by male peers in the school grounds; and (3) the issues of menstruation in the institutional context are not sufficiently addressed in public policy, teacher training and provision of sanitation facilities. Therefore, a critical revision of the gender norms that place female adolescents at a disadvantage in school grounds is urgent in addition to improving water and sanitation infrastructure and maintenance. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Reconfigurations of the transition to adulthood amongst first-generation students in contexts of crisis: the Peruvian experience(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This article examines how first-generation students (FGS) in Peru experience the transition to adulthood within the university context. Through a biographical approach based on 60 interviews with scholarship recipients across three regions of the country (Coast, Highlands and Amazon), the study analyses the particular configuration of life stages that emerges when the university experience unfolds in contexts of precarity. The findings reveal that, far from representing a period of social moratorium, university constitutes for FGS an 'intermediate age' characterised by constant tension between aspirations for autonomy and family responsibilities. The COVID-19 pandemic has made these tensions more visible and acute, evidencing both specific vulnerabilities and notable adaptive capacities. The analysis also shows how gender structures these experiences: while women face greater demands for family care, men experience more pressure to contribute economically. These findings invite us to rethink traditional conceptions of youth and adulthood, revealing how life transitions are reconfigured in contexts where the pursuit of social mobility through higher education coexists with persistent inequalities.2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Navigating Crisis: Violence, Mobility, and Gendered Experiences of Unaccompanied Venezuelan Adolescents(Taylor & Francis, 2025-01-01)This study examines the experiences of 14 unaccompanied Venezuelan adolescents (aged 15-19) migrating to Peru, using life course theory and biographical analysis. The research reveals three distinct groups: emancipated boys migrating for work, girls joining partners, and girls victimized by trafficking. Findings highlight gendered dimensions characterized by childhood violence, early emancipation, and mismatched institutional care. The study demonstrates how personal autonomy, peer networks, and family dynamics shape migration trajectories, challenging conventional life stage progressions. It contributes to migration theory by revealing the complex interplay between individual agency, family circumstances, and socio-economic factors in adolescent migration.2
