CULTURE AND SEXUAL VIOLENCE: THE INTERSECTIONS
Much of what an individual is today is shaped by the culture that he or she is born in and lives through, acquiring cultural values, attitudes, and behaviors. Culture determines definitions and descriptions of normality and psychopathology. Culture plays an important role in how certain populations and societies view, perceive, and process sexual acts as well as sexual violence.
An important element in the WHO definition of sexual violence is use of “coercion” or force and there is a high possibility that there are cultural differences with respect to what is labelled as “forced” sexual intercourse.[ 5 ] Various cultures describe certain forms of sexual violence that are condemned and other forms that may be tolerated to a degree, the culturally legitimized forms of violence[ 6 ] thus giving rise to a continuum with transgressive coercion at one end to tolerated coercion at the other.[ 4 ] For example, in South Africa, only the rape of white women was prosecuted under an apartheid system, while sexual violence against black women was accepted as a part of life.[ 7 ] Childhood marriages in certain parts of rural India involve marriage and sexual relationship with a girl who is not yet an adult. It, thus, amounts to sexual coercion and is considered illegal. However, the entire issue is sanctioned by personal laws defined by individuals who partake in such marriages[ 8 ] as condoned by Khap Panchayats who decide on marriage partners in certain parts of North India. Similarly, sexual violence is considered legitimate by young men in South Africa who also believe that mental health is negatively affected by lack of sex.
