| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS l9HD8R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. We sought to identify correlates of forced sex perpetration among men and victimization among women in Botswana and Swaziland. Methods. We surveyed a 2-stage probability sample of 2074 adults from the 5 districts of Botswana with the highest HIV prevalence rates and all 4 regions of Swaziland. We used multivariable logistic regression to identify correlates of forced sex victimization and perpetration. Results. Lifetime prevalence rates of forced sex victimization of women were 10.3% in Botswana and 11.4% in Swaziland ; among men, rates of perpetration were 3.9% in Botswana and 5.0% in Swaziland. Lifetime history of forced sex victimization was the strongest predictor of forced sex perpetration by men in Botswana (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=13.70 ; 95% confidence interval [CI]=4.55,41.50) and Swaziland (adjusted OR=5.98 ; 95% CI=1.08,33.10). Problem or heavy drinking was the strongest predictor of forced sex victimization among women in Botswana (adjusted OR=2.55 ; 95% CI=1.19,5.49) and Swaziland (OR=14.70 ; 95% CI=4.53,47.60). Conclusions. Sexual violence in Botswana and Swaziland is a major public health and human rights problem. Ending codified gender discrimination can contribute to fundamentally changing gender norms and may be an important lever for gender-based violence prevention in these countries. |
