In 2006, I received the habilitation of Associate Professor and in 2019 I moved to the Department of Health, Cycles of Life and Society in the School of Public Health of USP where I am engaged in the Post Graduation Programme. Working experiences: I started working as a Research Assistant in the Carlos Chagas Foundation in 1982 in a project for Sexual Health Education named ?This sex that is ours?. From this project I had the experience of being a Junior Consultant in Cape Vert Islands for UNESCO in 1983. I was approved to be a Public Health Doctor for the São Paulo State Health Secretariat in 1984 and worked in the Institute of Health as part of a team developing studies and training for health professionals in the Womens? Comprehensive Health Program. I coordinated this Program for few months before going to England.
