Based on the discourse of contemporary authorities and observers, and on judiciary archives, this article sheds light on the situation of prostitutes in the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth-century French Atlantic. It attempts to explain how the prostitute's activities made her an element of disorder for French society, both in the metropolis and in New France. The themes of gender and sexuality are therefore addressed in an imperial and Atlantic perspective, in order to bring out the particularities of the colonial context and to suggest ideas for future research.

This study aims to understand the gender differences in intimate relationships among homeless youth. A qualitative analysis was carried out on the basis of individual interviews with 32 homeless youth (18 women, 14 men). The results show that young men and women do not experience intimate relationships in the same way because of the unequal gender relations that characterize the homelessness context. It is revealed that young women, in order to ensure their safety, resign themselves to accept intimate partner violence, while young men keep their intimate relationships involvement minimal in favor of the quest for a privileged status. This study highlights that the homelessness context constitutes a vector of reproduction of traditional gender roles that amplify the inequalities in the intimate relationships among homeless youth.
