摘要

背景:残疾和性行为是一个热门话题,但在大多数社会中,它们并没有得到应有的重视,津巴布韦也不例外。与残疾相关的社会文化污名对性行为产生了不利影响,并渗入到残疾青年的社会生活中。残疾青年被认为是性欲亢进或无性:本文探讨了津巴布韦格韦鲁残疾青年在与残疾和性相关的负面污名背景下的性观点和性经验:对 20 名格韦鲁肢体残疾青年(18-35 岁)和五名主要信息提供者进行了半结构化访谈和焦点小组讨论。对残疾青年的看法以及社会文化对其性行为的假设进行了分析:研究发现,大多数残疾青年在性问题上面临社会封闭,其家庭很少提供性教育。本研究得出的一个性教育主题是禁欲。此外,还提出了一些关于性与残疾问题的更开放交流形式的建议,但这只是少数观点:研究得出的结论是,大多数青少年认为他们在家庭和社区中被剥夺了有关性的信息,因为他们被错误地认为不需要这些信息。然而,残疾青年并没有被动地接受对其性行为的负面看法,他们在抵制这些负面看法方面表现出了自己的能动性:贡献:本研究有助于加深人们对残疾青少年的性与残疾问题的了解,因为在这种环境中,存在着强烈的传统观念、神话和误解。

Exploring perceptions of sexuality among youth with physical disabilities in Gweru, Zimbabwe
Background: Disability and sexuality are topical issues although they are not given much-deserved attention in most societies, and Zimbabwe is not an exception. The socio-cultural stigma associated with disability adversely impacts sexuality and seeps into the social existence of youth with disability. Youths with disability are assumed to be hypersexual or asexual.Objectives: This article explores the sexuality views and experiences of youth with disability in the context of the negative stigma associated with disability and sexuality in Gweru, Zimbabwe.Method: Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted among 20 Gweru youth (18–35 years old) with physical disabilities and five key informants. Perceptions of youth with disability and socio-cultural assumptions regarding their sexuality were analysed.Results: The study established that most youths with disability faced social closure in terms of sexuality, with sparse offerings of sexuality education in their families. One sexual education theme that emerged from this study is sexual abstinence. Some suggestions of more open forms of communication on sexuality and disability also emerged although as a minority view.Conclusion: It was concluded from the study that, most youth feel that they are denied information on sexuality in their families and communities, as they are wrongfully assumed to have no need for it. However, youths with disability do not passively accept the negative perceptions about their sexuality, and they demonstrate their agency in resisting such negative perceptions.Contribution: The study contributes to knowledge on sexuality and disability among youths with disability in contexts where strong traditional beliefs, myths, and misconceptions exist.

期刊介绍: The African Journal of Disability, the official journal of CRS, AfriNEAD and CEDRES, introduce and discuss issues and experiences relating to and supporting the act of better understanding the interfaces between disability, poverty and practices of exclusion and marginalisation. Its articles yield new insight into established human development practices, evaluate new educational techniques and disability research, examine current cultural and social discrimination, and bring serious critical analysis to bear on problems shared across the African continent. Emphasis is on all aspects of disability particularity in the developing African context. This includes, amongst others: -disability studies as an emerging field of public health enquiry -rehabilitation, including vocational and community-based rehabilitation -community development and medical issues related to disability and poverty -disability-related stigma and discrimination -inclusive education -legal, policy, human rights and advocacy issues related to disability -the role of arts and media in relation to disability -disability as part of global Sustainable Development Goals transformation agendas -disability and postcolonial issues -globalisation and cultural change in relation to disability -environmental and climate-related issues linked to disability -disability, diversity and intersections of identity -disability and the promotion of human development.
