THE ADVERSE HEALTH AND SOCIAL OUTCOMES OF SEXUAL COERCION: Experiences of young women in developing countries
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Evidence shared at the New Delhi meeting revealed some striking similarities in experiences across settings. For example, compared to young women of similar age who did not experience sexual coercion, females who experienced coercion are more likely to experience subsequent incidents of forced sex, as well as (consensual) sexual risktaking behaviours including multiple sexual partners and non-use of condoms, and consequently increased risk of unintended pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). They are also more likely to experience poor mental health outcomes, and alcohol and substance abuse. Notable associations highlighted at the meeting are discussed below.
