Abstract

ABSTRACT This article presents a preliminary view of perceptions of the sexual and reproductive health of indigenous migrant women in an agricultural valley in Northwestern Mexico. A qualitative design was implemented with individual interviews and participatory workshops. The objective was to learn about indigenous migrant women’s experiences with health services and their understanding of their sexual and reproductive rights. It was found that family was not a sufficient source of sexual information or education; that for women participating in this study, talking about sexual and reproductive health meant talking about reproduction; that the education system participates little in this aspect and that the health sector fails to respond in a timely and sufficient manner to this segment of the population. It is necessary to develop a more comprehensive view of the socio-cultural components of sexual and reproductive health in order to carry out a medical practice that considers the needs and perceptions of indigenous women. For women themselves, the challenge is to appropriate their body, to re-signify their sexual and reproductive rights and to exercise these rights.

性健康和生殖健康：墨西哥西北部土著移民妇女的看法

摘要本文介绍了墨西哥西北部一个农业山谷中土著移民妇女对性健康和生殖健康的看法。通过个人访谈和参与式讲习班进行了定性设计。目的是了解土著移民妇女在卫生服务方面的经验以及她们对性权利和生殖权利的理解。调查发现，家庭不是性信息或性教育的充分来源；对于参与这项研究的女性来说，谈论性健康和生殖健康意味着谈论生殖；教育系统很少参与这方面的工作，卫生部门未能及时、充分地对这部分人口作出反应。有必要对性健康和生殖健康的社会文化组成部分形成更全面的看法，以便开展考虑土著妇女需求和看法的医疗实践。对妇女本身来说，挑战是调整她们的身体，重新表明她们的性权利和生殖权利，并行使这些权利。
