Gender, health and nursing: ressignificating the people

Abstract

It is intended, through this Report of Experience, to share the experience of students of the third period of the Nursing Course of the Universidade Estadual do Rio Grande do Norte (UERN) in the execution of the extension activity entitled ““1º Seminário Gênero, Saúde e Enfermagem: ressignificando o sujeito” ”, which took place in May 2016 at the Casa da Cultura in the city of Pau dos Ferros/RN, with the aim of stimulating discussions with the local community about gender in order to deconstruct prejudices and promote empowerment. There was participation of the local population and, at the discussion tables, LGBT and feminist movements representative, as well as health professionals and health and social researchers. The event was considered valuable because it enabled students the protagonism in the organization and exhibition of academic works on the proposed theme, bringing them closer to the reality of the community in an exchange of experiences and knowledge, as well as giving local society a space for dialogue and promotion of tolerance and respect, in the perspective of a more just and egalitarian society.
