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 well 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.
本文探讨了在《北京行动纲领》制定过程中以及在南部非洲发展共同体（SADC）内部，不同利益相关者对性权利的解读。它说明了在非洲背景下，性权利的缺失是如何源于贫困以及性别不平等的，尤其是在性关系方面。这种缺失体现在围绕艾滋病毒/艾滋病大流行和暴力侵害妇女行为的种种情况中。相比之下，在欧洲背景下，性权利主张具体是围绕性取向提出的。本文探讨了南部非洲发展共同体成员国在实践中对这些不同论述的应对程度，以及在该地区和国际上建立具体性权利实践的机会。
