The Interdisciplinary Center for Gender Studies (CIEG/ISCSP-ULisboa) developed the project Monitoring and Evaluation the National Strategy for Equality and Non-discrimination – Portugal + Igual as well as the IV Plan for Prevention and Fight Against Human Trafficking (2018-2021) between June and December 2021.
Under Professor Anália Torres’s coordination, the team monitored and assessed the conditions, difficulties and necessities identified after the implementation of policies on the equality between women and men, on the fight and prevention of gender and domestic violence, on sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and sexual characteristics based discrimination, and on the fight and prevention of human trafficking in the last four years. The evaluation required a deep and rigorous exam that allowed the analysis of the implementation of these policies, the achievement of the stipulated goals and the improvement possibilities for the following political cycle.
The project is promoted by the Institute of Social and Political Sciences of the University of Lisbon (ISCSP-ULisboa) and funded by the Work-life Balance and Gender Equality Programme of the European Economic Area Financial Mechanism – EEAGrants. The project’s operating organization is the Commission for Citizenship and Gender Equality (CIG) and the study is being developed by the Interdisciplinary Centre for Gender Studies (CIEG/ISCSP-ULisboa) in partnership with the University of Maia – ISMAI, Open University, Plano I Association, Portuguese Red Cross - Braga Delegation, SOS Racismo and Odal Naeringshage.
Boomerang is a project whose main objective is to characterize the perceptions of immigrant women and men in Portugal about the economic impact of the unequal sharing of unpaid work and divorce, and to analyze its effects on the conciliation between personal, family, and professional life. Thus, the project intends to carry out a scientific study with immigrants of Brazilian, Cape Verdean and Ukrainian nationalities, as well as with professionals who work with them, in order to know their stories and hear their voices.
The results of Boomerang will serve to increase knowledge about the situation of immigrant people in Portugal. This knowledge is expected to contribute to an improvement in their living conditions and to the promotion of gender equality in the time allocated to paid and unpaid work.
It is coordinated by Estefânia Silva and Cláudia Casimiro.

Title: Socio-legal changes in Portugal: a case study on LGBTI+ rights
Objectives:
1) identify and understand the socio-legal factors that contributed to the legislative changes; and
2) understand the impact of these legal changes on the Portuguese legal system, particularly with regard to adoption and PMA.
Methodology: The research is oriented from four research hypotheses:
1. The action of the LGBT+ movement influenced the approval of the diplomas.
2. The different political conjunctures influenced the approval of the diplomas.
3. The international, European and transnational legal framework had an effect on the achievement of LGBTI+ rights at a national level.
4. The legislative changes contributed to the creation of new legal-social conceptions within the family.
The research aims to understand and explain how the process of the acquisition of rights by LGBTI+ people that eliminated legal discrimination in the family sphere has developed. We will focus on the achievement of the so-called "parenthood rights" (adoption and MAR), recognised with the approval of Law no. 2/2016 of 29 February, which eliminated discrimination in access to adoption, civil sponsorship and other family legal relationships, and Law no. 17/2016 of 20 June, which widened the scope of beneficiaries of medically assisted procreation techniques. We will analyse all the legislative processes between 1999 and 2016, which have discussed or attributed any right within the family scope to LGBTI+ people, and the data will be collected from i) written documents; and ii) interviews.
Topics of interest: Gender, Law, LGBTI+ rights, LGBT parenting
