The Fataki campaign aired in Tanzania via radio from 2008 to 2011 to address cross-generational sex, a major driver of HIV in the region. The campaign sought to incite social disapproval of men who engage in such relationships, generate dialogue around the issue, and encourage community interventions in these relationships through social learning. Using qualitative methods, we explored campaign reactions, use of the term Fataki to describe men in relationships with much younger women, and the nature of discussions spurred by the campaign. We conducted focus group discussions and individual interviews in Iringa and Pwani regions with young women, older men, and community leaders. Results showed that the Fataki term was widely used and had negative connotations reflecting social disapproval of men who participate in such relationships. Dialogue spurred by the campaign, primarily directed toward young women, focused on reasons for avoiding these relationships. We conclude with suggestions for relevant future interventions.
2008年至2011年期间，“法塔基运动”在坦桑尼亚通过广播播出，旨在解决跨代性行为问题，这是该地区艾滋病毒的一个主要驱动因素。该运动试图引发社会对参与此类关系的男性的不满，围绕这一问题展开对话，并通过社会学习鼓励社区对这些关系进行干预。我们采用定性方法，探讨了对该运动的反应、使用“法塔基”一词来描述与年轻得多的女性建立关系的男性，以及该运动引发的讨论的性质。我们在伊林加和滨海地区与年轻女性、年长男性和社区领袖进行了焦点小组讨论和个人访谈。结果表明，“法塔基”一词被广泛使用，并带有负面含义，反映了社会对参与此类关系的男性的不满。该运动引发的对话主要针对年轻女性，重点是避免此类关系的原因。我们最后提出了未来相关干预措施的建议。
