Intimate partner violence (IPV) is a violation of women's human rights and dramatically increases women's vulnerability to sexual and reproductive health morbidities. This article examines young iTaukei (Indigenous Fijian) women's experiences of, and responses to, nonphysical forms of coercion in romantic relationships. It draws on ethnographic research with young unmarried women attending university in Suva, Fiji. Young women disclosed experiencing a continuum of coercive behaviors, including verbal pressure, deception, and manipulation by male partners to initiate sexual intercourse, unprotected sex, and unsafe abortions. Findings indicate an urgent need to address IPV within premarital relationships in Fiji to promote young women's sexual and reproductive health and autonomy.
亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）侵犯了妇女人权，并极大地增加了妇女在性健康和生殖健康方面患病的脆弱性。本文探讨了年轻的伊塔基（斐济土著）妇女在浪漫关系中遭受非身体形式的胁迫的经历和应对方式。这篇文章是基于对在斐济苏瓦上大学的未婚年轻女性进行的民族志研究。年轻女性透露她们经历了一系列的强制性行为，包括男性伴侣通过言语施压、欺骗和操纵来促使她们发生性行为、无保护性行为和不安全的堕胎。研究结果表明，斐济迫切需要在婚前关系中解决 IPV 问题，以促进年轻女性的性健康和生殖健康以及自主权。
