少女和年轻妇女中的性骚扰是一种普遍存在且研究不足的基于性别的暴力形式，对健康和福祉产生负面影响。2019冠状病毒病大流行引发了全球对家庭内性别暴力的关注;人们对它如何影响公共场所的性别暴力知之甚少。目前的分析使用来自肯尼亚内罗毕青少年和年轻人队列的横断面数据，仅限于女性参与者。数据于2020年8月至10月在COVID-19限制措施实施后通过电话收集。对总体样本以及个人、家庭和流行病相关因素计算了过去一年性骚扰和与COVID-19限制有关的骚扰的患病率。多变量负二项回归模型检查了（1）过去一年的性骚扰和（2）相对于COVID-19限制的性骚扰增加的相关性。总体而言，18.1%的AGYW在2020年的调查中经历过性骚扰。在这一群体中，14.6%的人仅在COVID-19前经历过性骚扰，18.8%仅在COVID-19后经历过性骚扰，66.6%在两个时间点都经历过性骚扰。在后一组中，34.9%的人报告在COVID-19限制后发生更多事件，20.5%的人报告发生更少事件，44.7%的人报告发生没有变化。总体而言，自COVID-19以来，42.0%的AGYW经历了性骚扰的增加，而58.0%的AGYW没有经历过性骚扰的增加。在调整后的模型中，过去一年的性骚扰与较高的教育程度（调整后的风险比，aRR 2.11; 95%CI 1.27至3.52）和无法满足基本的经济需求（aRR 1.67; 95%CI 1.05至2.66）。自COVID-19以来，性骚扰增加与完全控制离家有关（aRR 1.69; 95% CI 1.00至2.90）。肯尼亚内罗毕的AGYW中的性骚扰在COVID-19限制之前和期间很普遍。公共场所的安全仍然是一个高度性别化的问题，影响到妇女的安全和参与公共生活的能力。解决性骚扰问题的预防和支助服务仍然是确保安全、可持续的公共空间的一个重要因素。
Sexual harassment among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) is a prevalent and understudied form of gender-based violence (GBV) with negative impacts on health and well-being. The COVID-19 pandemic raised global concern about GBV within homes; less is known about how it affected GBV in public spaces. Present analyses use cross-sectional data from a cohort of adolescents and young adults residing in Nairobi, Kenya, restricted to female participants. Data were collected August–October 2020 via phone after implementation of COVID-19 restrictions. Prevalence of past-year sexual harassment and harassment relative to COVID-19 restrictions were calculated for overall sample, and by individual, household, and pandemic-related factors. Multivariate negative binomial regression models examine correlates of (1) past-year sexual harassment and (2) increases in sexual harassment relative to COVID-19 restrictions. Overall, 18.1% of AGYW experienced past-year sexual harassment at the 2020 survey. Among this group, 14.6% experienced sexual harassment pre-COVID-19 only, 18.8% after only and 66.6% at both time points. Among the latter group, 34.9% reported more occurrences following COVID-19 restrictions, 20.5% reported less occurrences and 44.7% reported no change in occurrence. Overall, 42.0% of AGYW experienced an increase in sexual harassment while 58.0% experienced no increase since COVID-19. In adjusted models, past-year sexual harassment was associated with higher educational attainment (adjusted risk ratio, aRR 2.11; 95% CI 1.27 to 3.52) and inability to meet basic financial needs (aRR 1.67; 95% CI 1.05 to 2.66). Increased sexual harassment since COVID-19 was associated with having full control to leave the home (aRR 1.69; 95% CI 1.00 to 2.90). Sexual harassment among AGYW in Nairobi, Kenya was prevalent before and during COVID-19 restrictions. Safety in public spaces remains a highly gendered issue that impacts women’s safety and ability to participate in public life. Prevention and support services to address sexual harassment remain an important element in ensuring safe, sustainable public spaces.
