针对妇女的暴力行为是一种社会机制，在许多社会中确认了妇女的从属地位。性暴力和性骚扰对女孩产生各种负面心理影响，包括持续的不安全感和丧失自尊。本文旨在介绍孟加拉少女（12-18 岁）经历的一种特殊形式的性骚扰，即“前夕戏弄”，这种骚扰是由年轻人进行的青少年性行为研究得出的。该研究采用定性方法和参与式方法，包括焦点小组讨论、关键知情人访谈和观察。尽管存在禁忌，未婚青少年仍积极寻求有关性、色情快感和浪漫的信息。人们很容易从视频、手机剪辑和色情杂志中获取信息，但却加剧了性别不平等。 “夏娃戏弄”是男孩性感情的一种发泄方式；他们从中获得乐趣，并能展现自己的男子气概。女孩们不喜欢它，也害怕因为挑衅而受到指责。因此，“前夜戏弄”是与性有关的社会文化规范以及孟加拉国缺乏获得性健康和生殖健康信息和服务的结果。这些发现强调了全面性教育的重要性，它超越了单纯的健康关注点，涉及性别规范，并帮助青少年获得社会性互动技能。 (C) 2013 年生殖健康问题
Violence against women is a social mechanism confirming women's subordination in many societies. Sexual violence and harassment have various negative psychological impacts on girls, including a persistent feeling of insecurity and loss of self-esteem. This article aims to contextualize a particular form of sexual harassment, namely "eve teasing", experienced by Bangladeshi adolescent girls (12-18 years) which emerged from a study of adolescent sexual behaviour carried out by young people. The study used qualitative methods and a participatory approach, including focus group discussions, key informant interviews and observation. Despite taboos, unmarried adolescents actively seek information about sex, erotic pleasure and romance. Information was easily available from videos, mobile phone clips and pornographic magazines, but reinforced gender inequality. "Eve teasing" was one outlet for boys' sexual feelings; they gained pleasure from it and could show their masculinity. The girls disliked it and were afraid of being blamed for provoking it. Thus, "eve teasing" is a result of socio-cultural norms relating to sexuality, as well as a lack of access to sexual and reproductive health information and services in Bangladesh. These findings underscore the importance of comprehensive sexuality education that goes beyond a mere health focus and addresses gender norms and helps youth to gain social-sexual interaction skills.
