BACKGROUND
While the situation of married adolescent girls in Tanzania is increasingly documented, empirical evidence concerning the ways in which child marriage impacts girls' and young women's sexual lives is limited. Specifically, little is known about lived experiences on sexual violence among married adolescent girls in Tanzania.
METHODS
This article reports on a qualitative study using a phenomenological approach to describe married girls' experiences of sexual violence in the Shinyanga Region, an area with the highest prevalence (59%) of child marriage in Tanzania. Data were collected from 20 married girls aged 12-17 years.
RESULTS
The study identified four analytical themes regarding the experience of sexual violence, namely: forced sex; rape; struggling against unpleasant and painful sex; and inculcation of the culture of tolerance of sexual violence.
CONCLUSION
The study highlights the voices of married adolescents on an important but a neglected topic of relevance to Tanzania's public health. Findings from this study suggest that married adolescent girls suffer sexual coercion in silence. Child marriage is a major public health problem in sub-Saharan Africa in general and in Tanzania in particular. However, there is limited research on the ways in which it impacts sexual lives of married adolescent girls. In response to the inadequacy of information, married adolescent girls in Shinyanga Region of Tanzania were requested to voice out their experiences of sexual violence. Three themes were identified from the responses, namely: forced sex; rape, struggling against unpleasant and painful sex; and the inculcation of the culture of tolerance of sexual violence. In conclusion, this study has echoed voices of married adolescent girls on the sexual troubles they experience. Their main concern is that they suffer sexual coercion in silence, which increases their risk of acquiring sexually transmitted infections and/or unwanted pregnancies. Recommendations for sexual violence prevention strategies are discussed.
背景
尽管坦桑尼亚未成年少女结婚的情况越来越多地被记录在案，但有关童婚如何影响女孩和年轻妇女性生活的实证证据有限。具体来说，对于坦桑尼亚已婚未成年少女遭受性暴力的实际经历知之甚少。
方法
本文报告了一项定性研究，采用现象学方法描述了在坦桑尼亚 Shinyanga 地区已婚少女遭受性暴力的经历，该地区童婚率最高（59%）。数据来自 20 名 12-17 岁的已婚女孩。
结果
该研究确定了关于性暴力经历的四个分析主题，即：强迫性行为；强奸；抗拒不愉快和痛苦的性行为；以及容忍性暴力文化的灌输。
结论
该研究突显了已婚青少年在一个重要但被忽视的话题上的声音，这个话题与坦桑尼亚的公共卫生有关。这项研究的结果表明，已婚少女在沉默中遭受性胁迫。童婚是整个撒哈拉以南非洲地区，特别是坦桑尼亚的一个主要公共卫生问题。然而，关于它如何影响已婚青少年女孩性生活的研究有限。为了应对信息不足的问题，坦桑尼亚 Shinyanga 地区的已婚少女被要求表达她们遭受性暴力的经历。从这些回应中确定了三个主题，即：强迫性行为；强奸；抗拒不愉快和痛苦的性行为；以及容忍性暴力文化的灌输。总之，这项研究呼应了已婚少女对她们所经历的性困扰的声音。她们主要关注的是她们在沉默中遭受性胁迫，这增加了她们感染性传播感染和/或意外怀孕的风险。讨论了预防性暴力策略的建议。
