Dilemas e contradiyoes nos marcos normativos nacionais e internacionais SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS OR SEXUAL RIGHTS AND REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS? DILEMMAS AND CONTRADICTIONS IN THE INTERNATIONAL AND THE BRAZILIAN LEGAL FRAMEWORK Juliana Cesario Alvim Gomes' Resumo Nas Otimas d6cadas, desdobramentos juridicos relativos a sexualidade e a identi- dade de genero vm sendo reconhecidos tanto nacionaL quanto internacionalmente. Nesse contexto, apesar dos esforcos para a construgao e consolidagso de um con- te do aut6nomo, os direitos sexuais com frequancia sao reivindicados a partir do tratamento conjunto de direitos sexuais e reprodutivos. 0 presente artigo busca demonstrar que, historicamente, sobretudo a partir das conferencias internacionais da d6cada de 1990, esse tratamento indiferenciado entre direitos sexuais e reprodu- tivos colaborou para que os primeiros passassem a ser vistos como uma categoria subordinada e condicionada aos segundos. Esse processo, embora tenha sido objeto de criticas pela Literatura, nao foi revertido no emprego do termo pelo poder p blico no BrasiL A Luz dessas considerac6es, o artigo busca apontar a utilidade da catego- ria aut6noma dos direitos sexuais para a protegao e promogao de direitos relativos a sexualidade e identidade de genero. De maneira mais ampla, tem por objetivo evi- denciar alguns dos riscos que uma visso que desconsidere as caracteristicas de interdependancia e indivisibilidade dos direitos humanos pode acarretar. Palavras-chave Direitos sexuais; direitos reprodutivos; conferencias internacionais; genero; sexua- lidade. Abstract In recent decades, legal developments regarding the field of sexuality have been recognized both nationally and internationally. In this context, sexual rights are often claimed based on the joint treatment of sexual and reproductive rights, despite efforts to build and consolidate an autonomous content. Historically, this undifferentiated treatment between sexual and reproductive rights collaborated so that the former came to be seen as a subordinate and conditioned category to the latter. Despite the criticisms, this process has not been reversed on the polit- ical and constitutional level in Brazil. In the light of these considerations, the arti- cle aims to point out the usefulness of the category of sexual rights for the protec- tion and promotion of rights related to sexuality and gender identity. It also aims to signal the risks of a fragmentary view of human rights that does not consider them in an indivisible and interdependent way. Keywords Sexual rights; reproductive rights; human rights; gender; sexuality. ESCOLA DE DIREITO DE SAO PAULO DA FUNDACAO GETULIO VARGAS REVISTA DIREITO GV I SAO PAULO I V. 17 N. 3 1 e2136 1 2021
