The adventure of playing together. An encounter with children from pro-sex, transfeminist and psychosocial critique perspectives, based on a playful device to address sexual rights.

Abstract

This article attempts to give an account of an experience of intervention with children in the context of pandemic by Covid-19. The work with children is of political interest and a recent line of work of the Colectiva HILANDO Socorros Feministas in Córdoba, who contacted us to articulate knowledge and concrete actions for and with children around sexual and (non) reproductive rights from pro-sex, transfeminist and psychosocial critique perspectives. The excuse we gave ourselves was the construction of a board game and a playful group device that allowed us to meet with children in their territories. In this activist framework, the idea of integral sexuality from the guidelines of the Law of Integral Sexual Education (ESI) is key, of protagonist childhoods when expressing and being heard, when proposing to the adult world how they want to live their experiences in contexts free of violence and at the same time, from the capacity of exploration, enjoyment, the encounter with others, and also to make evident what bothers them, anguishes them or what they wish for themselves and the world.
In this paper we analytically look at the socio-historical and cultural context from where we read the process of intervention for and with children around sexual rights, to then move on to a brief description of the three moments of the project, and leave towards the end some recapitulations that bring us timidly closer to sketch at least new questions.
