This study seeks to understand the needs associated with the sexual and reproductive health of migrants of Venezuelan origin settled temporarily or permanently in Santiago de Cali, Colombia.
A qualitative study was conducted with Venezuelan migrants between 15 and 60 years old. Participants were selected using the snowball technique. Information was initially gathered from people identified by migrant organizations, followed by information gathering in areas with high concentrations of migrants of Venezuelan origin. In-depth interviews were held, and thematic content was analyzed.
Of the 48 migrants who participated, 70.8% did not have legal migratory status and were living in conditions of socioeconomic vulnerability. The participants had scarce economic resources, a lack of job opportunities, precarious human capital, and varying levels of social capital, coupled with weak social integration that limited their awareness and appropriation of their rights. Immigration status constituted an access barrier to health services and other social services. There was a particular need for information on sexual and reproductive health rights, with increased risk among young people 15 to 29 years old and members of the LGBTIQ+ community, due to their greater vulnerability and exposure to unsafe spaces for self-care, personal hygiene, and privacy, in addition to their greater need for health care, treatment of sexually transmitted infections, psychosocial support for violence, substance abuse, family conflicts, and gender transition processes.
The sexual and reproductive health needs of Venezuelan migrants are determined by their living conditions and migratory experiences.
本研究旨在了解暂时或永久定居在哥伦比亚卡利市圣地亚哥的委内瑞拉移民在性健康和生殖健康方面的相关需求。
对15至60岁的委内瑞拉移民进行了一项定性研究。采用滚雪球技术选取参与者。信息最初从移民组织所识别的人员处收集，随后在委内瑞拉裔移民高度集中的地区收集信息。进行了深入访谈并分析了主题内容。
在参与研究的48名移民中，70.8%没有合法移民身份，生活在社会经济脆弱的条件下。参与者经济资源匮乏，缺乏就业机会，人力资本不稳定，社会资本水平各异，且社会融合薄弱，这限制了他们对自身权利的认知和获取。移民身份构成了获得医疗服务和其他社会服务的障碍。对性健康和生殖健康权利信息有特别需求，15至29岁的年轻人以及LGBTIQ+群体成员的风险增加，这是因为他们更易受伤害，在自我护理、个人卫生和隐私方面面临不安全空间，此外他们对医疗保健、性传播感染治疗、针对暴力、药物滥用、家庭冲突和性别过渡过程的心理社会支持有更大需求。
委内瑞拉移民的性健康和生殖健康需求由其生活条件和移民经历所决定。
