撒哈拉以南非洲年轻人的日常流动性在很大程度上仍然是不可见的，也没有得到充分的研究。根据南非儿童流动项目的定性和定量数据，我们展示了年轻人的日常旅行(上学和其他地方)如何塑造了性接触的可能性，也受到了性接触可能性的影响。年轻女性在邻里之间走动时，被认为面临着性暴力的风险，对性暴力和越轨关系的恐惧导致了对她们行动能力的控制，可能会对教育和社会机会造成负面影响。然而，流动也可以提供受欢迎的性接触和实验的机会，这被视为成长的一部分。我们讨论了对年轻女性通过安全途径迈向成年的能力的影响。
Young people's daily mobility in sub-Saharan Africa remains largely invisible and under-researched. Drawing on qualitative and quantitative data from the Child Mobility Project in South Africa, we show how young people's daily journeys (to school and other places) shape, and are shaped by, the possibility of sexual encounters. Young women are seen to be at risk of sexual violence as they travel around their neighbourhoods and fears of sexual violence and transgressive relationships lead to controls over their mobility, with potentially negative consequences for education and social opportunities. However, mobility can also present opportunities for welcomed sexual encounters and experimentation, which are seen as part of growing up. We discuss the implications for young women's ability to negotiate safe routes to adulthood.
