Coercive experiences at sexual debut have been shown to be associated with other sexual risks throughout the life course. Using nationally representative surveys from 12-19 year old girls in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Malawi, and Uganda collected in 2004, we examine the prevalence of sexual coercion at sexual debut among unmarried girls and its correlates. In Malawi, 38 percent of girls said that they were "not willing at all" at their first sexual experience followed by Ghana at 30 percent, Uganda at 23 percent and Burkina Faso at 15 percent. In-depth interviews collected in 2003 with the same demographic shows that there are four primary types of sexual coercion: forced sex; pressure through money or gifts; flattery, pestering, and threatening to have sex with other girls; and passive acceptance. The article concludes with the research and policy implications of these findings.
首次性行为时的强迫经历已被证明与一生中的其他性风险相关。利用2004年在布基纳法索、加纳、马拉维和乌干达收集的针对12至19岁女孩的全国代表性调查数据，我们研究了未婚女孩首次性行为时性强迫的发生率及其相关因素。在马拉维，38%的女孩表示她们在第一次性行为时“完全不愿意”，其次是加纳，为30%，乌干达为23%，布基纳法索为15%。2003年对相同人口群体进行的深入访谈表明，性强迫主要有四种类型：强迫性行为；通过金钱或礼物施压；奉承、纠缠以及威胁要与其他女孩发生性关系；被动接受。文章最后阐述了这些研究结果对研究和政策的启示。
