This article bases its argument on the social representations that justify sexual violence against adolescent girls and women and make it commonplace. It looks at the constructions of masculinity and femininity and their potential effects on the occurrence of sexual violence among adolescent girls. This is a socio-anthropological study carried out in the plateau regions of Togo. The empirical data came from individual semi-directive interviews (55), life stories (4) of adolescent rape victims and group interviews (40) with several stakeholders (adolescents, parents of adolescents, educators, community leaders and religious leaders). The results show that despite the efforts of the State and non-governmental organisations, local sexuality logics often have an impact on the persistence of sexual violence. (.
本文的论点基于为针对少女和妇女的性暴力行为辩护并使之成为司空见惯的现象的社会表征。它着眼于男子气概和女子气质的构建及其对少女中性暴力行为发生的潜在影响。这是在多哥高原地区进行的一项社会人类学研究。实证数据来自对 55 名少女强奸受害者的个人半直接访谈、4 名少女强奸受害者的生活故事以及对 40 名利益攸关方（青少年、青少年父母、教育工作者、社区领导人和宗教领袖）的小组访谈。结果表明，尽管国家和非政府组织做出了努力，但地方的性行为逻辑往往对性暴力的持续存在产生影响。
