Sexuality education, gender and health issues related to puberty rites for girls: research
Abstract
Navorsing het aangetoon dat inlywings- of puberteitsrites vir meisies gerig is op seksualiteit, seksonderrig, en seksualiteitsopvoeding. Baie min is egter bekend oor die inhoud van seksualiteitsopvoeding. Hierdie artikel het ten doel om die inhoud van seksualiteitsopvoeding en seksuele gesondheidsinligting wat tydens die puberteitsrites (vukhomba) aan meisies gegee word, te beskryf; om geslags- en gesondheidsake binne die rites te identifiseer; en om vas te stel wat dit is wat meisies aanspoor om die inlywing by te woon. Die studie is ontwerp as 'n kwalitatiewe, ondersoekende, beskrywende en kontekstuele navorsingsprojek. Die etnografiese strategie is gebruik om toegang tot die "vukhomba" te verkry, om dit waar te neem, en die rites vanuit die perspektief van 'n deelnemer te kan beskryf. Die etnografiese strategieë het die navorser ook in staat gestel om die inhoud van seksualiteitsopvoeding in die "vukhomba" vanuit die perspektief van die gemeenskap te beskryf. Die bevindinge was dat seksualiteitsopvoeding in die puberteitsrites vir meisies tot persoonlike higiëne, die behoud van maagdelikheid, selfbeheersing en sosiale moraliteit beperk is.
