本文考察了婚姻内性别关系对性决策以及孟加拉国妇女的性健康和生殖健康的影响。它提出了基于定性数据的调查结果,这些调查结果表明,关于性关系的传统责任和决策的严格模式几乎没有给妇女留下同意的余地。女性享有性快感或拒绝性行为的权利被男性广泛拒绝,相比之下,他们中的许多人将与妻子发生性关系视为丈夫的权利。因此,研究中的大多数女性都经历了违背自己意愿的性行为,基于威胁、恐吓和武力的组合,采访回应表明,这可能会对她们的性健康和生殖健康产生严重后果。在结论中,讨论了研究的一些实际影响,并提出了政策建议,将妇女赋权措施与男子的参与和提高认识相结合,以及支持性的法律框架。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
This article examines the influence of intra-marital gender relations on sexual decision-making and women's sexual and reproductive health in Bangladesh. It presents findings based on qualitative data that indicate that strict patterns of traditional responsibilities and decision-making regarding sexual relationships leave little room for women's consent. Notions of women's right to sexual pleasure or to refuse sex are widely rejected by men, many of whom, in contrast, view sex with their wives as a husband's right. As such, a majority of women in the study experienced sexual intercourse against their will, based on a combination of threats, intimidation and force, which interview responses suggest may have serious consequences on their sexual and reproductive health. In the conclusion, some practical implications of the research are covered, and policy recommendations are made to combine women's empowerment measures with men's engagement and awareness-raising, as well as supportive legal frameworks.
