强奸神话态度（RMA）可以为男性强奸行为开脱，将责任归咎于女性受害者。这项研究通过与青少年和成年人进行的 31 次焦点小组讨论，对肯尼亚西部农村地区的 RMA 进行了识别和分类。我们发现，大约一半的参与者可能会无条件地指责受害者。关于强奸受害者和施暴者的刻板印象十分普遍。焦点小组中自发出现了七个标准使用的 RMA 类别中的五个，以及一个新类别：“她欠他的”。根据这些数据，我们制定了“指责指数”来评估肯尼亚社区受害者指责的可能性。为了减少对受害者的指责并增加对强奸的起诉，强烈建议进行社区教育、教师培训和强奸法改革。
Rape myth attitudes (RMAs) can excuse men for rape, placing blame on female victims. This study identified and classified RMAs in rural western Kenya through 31 focus group discussions with youths and adults. We found that about half of the participants were likely to blame victims unconditionally. Stereotypes about rape victims and perpetrators were rife. Five of seven standardly used RMA categories emerged spontaneously in focus groups, along with a new category: “she owed him.” Based on the data, we developed a “blame index” to assess the likelihood of community victim blaming in Kenya. To reduce victim blaming and bring about more prosecutions for rape, community education, teacher training, and reforms of rape laws are highly recommended.
