Resumo

The effectiveness of health promotion actions to homeless adolescents entails the understanding of different power relationships that interrelate in daily life, including those of gender. The objective of this paper is to describe and analyze how gender manifests in homeless adolescents. Qualitative research of strategic social type was carried out in two institutions for homeless adolescents, where 13 adolescents were interviewed. Data collected were submitted to Meaning Interpretation Method, enabling the identification and discussion about the prevalence and impact of gender hegemonic conceptions in the routine of homeless adolescents, marked by vulnerability/disaffiliation process, mainly in relation to dimension of feminine sexuality control and to valorization of masculine function as material provider. It is assumed that gender relations are present, are built and signified for homeless adolescents in their everyday experiences. This process of social phenomena signification occur within the social and historic contexts in which they are inserted.
