“Mulheres Que Amam Mulheres:” o acesso de mulheres lésbicas à Atenção Básica de Saúde no SUS

Abstract

This Course Completion Work has as its theme “Lesbianity and Public Health”, in this sense, we sought to analyze the obstacles experienced by lesbian women in providing primary care in the SUS. It is understood that health in Brazil as we know it today is the result of an intense process of struggle, resistance and collective construction, in this sense, this begins to be outlined from the Federal Constitution of 1988, forming together with the Social Assistance and Social Security policy the tripod of security. In view of this, in the search to provide an account of the present study, historical-dialectical materialism was used as a method of analysis, since it allows us to understand the totality and contradiction of the social, economic, political and cultural aspects that permeate life in society. As it is a bibliographic and documentary study and does not have any quantitative data, the research is qualitative in nature, in this sense, it sought to analyze the phenomena of theoretical-methodological categories with regard to lesbianism and public health.
