Despite recognition of the risks of unplanned pregnancy and disease transmission, the use of contraceptives and/or prophylactics among young sexually active Filipinas in Australia is inconsistent. While this does not set them apart from Australian-born young people, sexual expression is influenced by cultural values of both the immigrant family and dominant community. Young migrant women experience particular barriers in discussing sex with their parents or other community members, because of their concern with family honour and shame and tensions related to differences in values between the host and origin cultures. Issues related to sex, contraception and the prevention of sexually transmitted diseases are rarely dealt with openly, and, as a result, young women rarely have access to practical advice about services and information.
