A Beijing Discourse or a Strategic Necessity?
نویسنده
چکیده
This article explores the meaning of sexual rights as interpreted by different stakeholders during the development of the Beijing Programme of Action and within the Southern African Development Community (SADC). It illustrates how the lack of sexual rights as understood in the African context results from poverty as weil as gender inequality, particularly in sexual relationships. This lack is manifested in the circumstances surrounding the HIV/AIDS pandemic and violence against women. In the European context, in contrast, sexual rights claims are motivated specifically in relation to sexual orientation. The article explores the extent to which these different discourses are being addressed in practice in SADC member countries and the opportunities that exist for building a concrete practice of sexual rights both in the region and internationally. Cet article explore la signification des droits sexuels tels qu'ils sont interpr?t?s par diff?rents participants pendant le d?veloppement du Programme d'action de Beijing et au sein de la Communaut? pour le d?veloppement de l'Afrique australe (SADC). I1 illustre de quelle fagon le manque de droits sexuels, tels qu'ils sont compris par le contexte africain, r?sulte de la pauvret? ainsi que de l'in?galit? entre les sexes, particuli?rement dans les relations sexuelles. Cette carence se manifeste dans les circonstances autour de la pand?mie VIH/SIDA et la violence contre les femmes. Dans le contexte europ?en, par contre, les pr?tentions aux droits sexuels sont motiv?es sp?cifiquement en relation avec lPorientation sexuelle. L'article ?tudie la mesure dans laquelle ces diff?rents propos sont exprim?s en pratique dans les pays membres de la SADC et la possibilit? d'?tablir une pratique concr?te des droits sexuels dans la r?gion et sur le plan international. Este articulo examina el significado de los derechos sexuales de acuerdo con lo interpretado por diferentes partes interesadas durante el desarollo del Plataforma de Acci?n de Beijing y en la Comunidad de Desarrollo Surafricana (SADC). Ilustra c?mo la falta de derechos sexuales, de acuerdo con lo entendido en el contexto africano, es el resultado de la pobreza al igual que de la falta de igualdad de g?nero, especificamente en lo que se refiere a relaciones sexuales. Esta deficiencia se manifiesta en las circonstancias que enmarcan el pand?mico de VIH/SIDA y la violencia en contra de la mujer. En contraste, en el contexto europeo, los reclamos de derechos sexuales se entablan especificamente con respecto a la orientaci?n sexual. El articulo explora hasta d?nde estos discursos distintos se estan tratando actualmente en los paises miembros de la SADC y las oportunidades existentes para el establecimiento de derechos sexuales concretos y practicables ambos a escala regional e internacional.
