Boys and girls speak out: A qualitative study of children's gender and sexual cultures (ages 10-12)
Abstract
The research used participatory methods to generate qualitative
data on how diverse groups of pre-teen children (age 10-12,
n=125) understand their own and other’s gender and sexual
identities, relationships and cultures. Its core aims were
three-fold: to address the lack of knowledge about children’s
own sexual cultures in the context of their everyday lives;
to foreground equality and diversity (Public Sector Equality
Duty, 2012); and to enable children’s own views and experiences
to inform and shape future research, policies and practice
(Article 12, UNCRC).
