Abstract

Violence remains a persistent challenge in South African schools, prompting investigations into underlying risk factors and mitigation strategies. However, an under-explored aspect of this violence is the potential link between the consumption of Internet porn via cellphones among girls and boys, and girls' risks to sexual violence inside the classroom. To address this gap, we used focus group discussions with 14-17-year-old South African girls to examine their experiences of porn access via cellphones and their accounts of sexual violence at school. The study illuminates the nuanced ways in which the girls experience risks and express agency. First, the girls illustrate a link between sexual harassment and boys accessing porn on their cellphones during class. Second, the findings show how girls negotiate their sexual agency and safety through contesting sexual violence. Third, there are conflicting views about porn: while some girls admitted liking and viewing porn, others objected to it as harmful and degrading. Finally, this study offers crucial insights into strategies to create safer school environments and gender equality by drawing attention to the intersections between cellphone porn consumption, sexuality, and girls' negotiations of sexual agency amidst sexual risk in the classroom.

南非女孩使用手机看色情片的经历及其对课堂上性风险的描述。
在南非的学校中,暴力仍然是一个长期存在的挑战,促使人们对潜在的风险因素和缓解策略进行调查。然而,这种暴力的一个未被充分探讨的方面是,男女生通过手机消费网络色情与女生在课堂上遭受性暴力的风险之间的潜在联系。为了填补这一空白,我们与 14-17 岁的南非女孩进行了焦点小组讨论,研究她们通过手机获取色情内容的经历以及她们对校园性暴力的描述。这项研究揭示了女孩们体验风险和表达能动性的细微方式。首先,女孩们说明了性骚扰与男孩在上课期间通过手机获取色情内容之间的联系。其次,研究结果表明了女孩如何通过与性暴力抗争来协商她们的性代理权和安全。第三,对色情的看法存在冲突:一些女孩承认喜欢并观看色情,而另一些女孩则反对色情,认为色情有害且有辱人格。最后,本研究通过关注手机色情消费、性行为以及女孩在课堂性风险中对性能动性的协商之间的交叉关系,为创造更安全的学校环境和性别平等战略提供了重要见解。
