Abstract: We describe how girls aged 7 to 12 from social care homes in Ciudad Juárez (Mexico) talk about sexuality in workshops that we led, focusing on how mechanisms of surveillance and self‐surveillance operate in a context in which the research framework opens up new norms for socially acceptable ways of talking about sexuality. We analysed data emerging from 13 drawings that answered the question 'What is sexuality?' [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
