Sexual harassment (SH) refers to unwelcome behavior that creates a hostile, intimidating, or offensive environment. This behavior can manifest through physical, verbal, or nonverbal actions. The present study analyzes the relationship between political orientation (left-wing, center, and right-wing) and attitudes toward SH with a focus on the moderating role of gender. We examined two types of attitudes: SH myth acceptance, and rejection of sexist remarks, specifically . SH myths are widely held but false beliefs that serve to deny and justify male-perpetrated harassment of women. Piropos are a form of harassment prevalent in Spain, where strangers make unsolicited comments about a woman's appearance in public spaces. Data were collected at a Spanish university, and multiple regression analyses were performed ( = 303). Participants with left-wing political orientation showed significantly lower SH myth acceptance compared to both right-wing (β = .80, < .001) and center-oriented participants (β = .51, < .01). Similarly, left-wing participants showed significantly higher rejection of piropos compared to right-wing (β = -1.26, < .001) and center-oriented participants (β = -.80, < .01). Furthermore, the interaction between political orientation and gender revealed that men with right-wing political orientation showed higher SH myth acceptance (β = -.51, < .05) and lower rejection of piropos (β = .96, < .05) compared to women of the same political orientation.

In 1974, women inspired by the back-to-the-land commune movement and women's liberation politics began forming lesbian intentional communities in rural Oregon. Living outside the mainstream allowed them to relinquish gender norms and experience their bodies differently in nature-their lesbian identity was not just a sexual orientation, it was gender non-conforming engaged ecofeminist praxis. The different lands they purchased fifty years ago are situated in the middle of logging country-huge swaths of land around them have been clear-cut over the years, while the lands they continue to care for today serve as conservation sites for old growth forests and all of their more-than-human inhabitants.

This article canvasses ways in which modern epidemiology influenced public health innovation from the late 18th century through the mid-19th century.

Reproductive rights and reproductive justice paradigms have long been viewed as incompatible, largely because of their divergent orientations to the notion of choice. According to this oppositional framing, reproductive rights approaches have centered the right of (white, middle-class, heterosexual) women to choose not to have children while reproductive justice organizing has focused on gendered, racialized, and classed obstacles to control over whether and how to have and raise children. Amid increasing examination of assisted reproductive technologies (ARTs) vis-à-vis human rights principles, I see an opportunity to narrow the perceived gap between the politics of rights and justice.

The ANRS-Coquelicot survey has been carried out in France for 25 years, to monitor trends in infectious diseases (HIV and hepatitis B and C) among people who use drugs. In this article, we propose to open the black box of this monitoring experience, by describing and analysing some methodological, ethical and political issues involved in this type of survey. The ANRS-Coquelicot survey has carried out on five occasions in France (from 2002 to 2024) in several cities (from 1 to 27) among people who use drugs recruited in a large diversity of services including drug treatment centres, harm reduction facilities, residential services as well as outreach teams.
