As defini??es tradicionais de prostitui??o tendem a enfatizar tr?s aspectos: a exist?ncia de uma interac??o de tipo sexual, a exist?ncia de uma retribui??o econ?mica por essa interac??o e a exist?ncia de indiferen?a afectiva entre as partes envolvidas, isto ? entre cliente e prostituta (Machado & Gon?alves, 2002) O conceito de ?rede? tem surgido recentemente nos mais diversos dom?nios e com in?meras designa??es associadas, pelo que pode falar-se de redes em ?reas e aplica??es t?o diversas, pois ? usado para ?designar uma grande variedade de objectos e de fen?menos?. Os v?nculos numa rede prim?ria s?o, assim, essencialmente de natureza afectiva, n?o havendo qualquer formalidade na rela??o. J? as redes secund?rias reportam-nos aos membros da nossa rede com os quais estabelecemos rela??es num contexto formal e com objectivos funcionais (Guadalupe, 2009) Tendo em conta o objecto de estudo, pretende-se com este trabalho de pesquisa, perceber quais as redes de suporte desta popula??o, bem como a efic?cia da rede em rela??o aos v?nculos afectivos. Podemos assim apurar que relativamente ?s redes de suporte prim?rias estas prostitutas t?m mais perto de si os seus companheiros e em seguida os seus filhos, mantendo, 29.4 % uma boa rela??o com a sua fam?lia e uma percentagem igual uma m? rela??o familiar. Relativamente ?s redes de suporte secund?rias, uma parte desta popula??o recorre a politicas sociais activas, implementadas pelo Minist?rio do Trabalho e da Seguran?a Social operacionalizadas pela Seguran?a Social de Coimbra para o apoio social. Ao n?vel da interven??o social directa, recorrem ? Associa??o Exist?ncias para o apoio emocional, psicossocial e de aconselhamento em contexto de gabinete ou em contexto outreach. /
The traditional definitions of prostitution tend to emphasize three aspects: the existence of sexual interaction, the existence of a payment for that interaction and the existence of an affective indifference between both parts, that is, between client and prostitute (Machado & Gon?alves, 2002). The concept of ?network? has recently emerged in various domains and with many associated designations, so we can refer to networks in many different fields and applications since it is used to ?designate a great variety of objects and phenomena?. The links in a primary network are mostly of affective nature, without any relationship formality. Secondary networks refer to members of our network, with whom we establish relationships in a formal context and with functional purposes (Guadalupe, 2009). Regarding the object of study, through this research, we intend to understand which networks of support there are for this population as well as the effectiveness of the network regarding the affective bonds. Therefore we can verify that, in what primary support networks are concerned, these prostitutes have their partners and then their children near them, 29.4% maintain a good relationship with their family and an equal percentage maintains a bad family relationship. Regarding secondary support networks, a part of this population makes use of active social politics, implemented by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and applied by Coimbra?s Social Security for social support. Regarding direct social intervention, they turn to the ?Exist?ncias? Association for emotional and psychosocial support and to get office or outreach counseling.
