“…This positive association between increased education and support for abortion liberalisation is well documented in the literature (Cesar et al 1997;Alves Duarte et al 2002;Becker, Garcia, and Larsen 2002;Palermo et al 2010;Valencia Rodríguez et al 2011;Wilson et al 2011;Morán Faúndes 2013;Faúndes et al 2013;Jelen and Doc Bradley 2014) and may be due to increased exposure to ideas surrounding gender equity in higher education or to increased work opportunities for women, which both force and enable women and families to consider timing and limiting fertility. The relationship with income was not monotonic: women in the two middle income categories were consistently more supportive of abortion legalisation compared to those in the lowest and highest income categories.…”

“…In the existing literature from Latin America, increased levels of education (Cesar et al 1997;Alves Duarte et al 2002;Becker, Garcia, and Larsen 2002;Palermo et al 2010;Valencia Rodríguez et al 2011;Wilson et al 2011;Morán Faúndes 2013;Faúndes et al 2013;Jelen and Doc Bradley 2014), increasing income or socioeconomic status (SES) (Alves Duarte et al 2002;Garcia et al 2004), paid employment (Duarte Osis et al 1994;Palermo et al 2010) and lack of religious affiliation and/or less frequent religious attendance (Gogna et al 2002;Lisker, Carnevale, and Villa 2006;Silva et al 2009;Palermo et al 2010;Wilson et al 2011;Faúndes et al 2013) are associated with increased support for a woman's right to access abortion. Overall, studies from Latin America indicate that increasing age is associated with increased support for abortion (Gogna et al 2002;Garcia et al 2004;Lisker, Carnevale, and Villa 2006;Faúndes et al 2013), though at least one study has found that individuals over the age of 60 are less supportive ) and another found no association (Jelen and Doc Bradley 2014).…”

Chile is one of only four countries in the world where there is no explicit legal exception to prohibitions on abortion, and where the criminalisation of abortion endangers women's health and may be misaligned with public opinion. In this study we explored attitudes towards the legalisation of abortion and differences in levels of support across time. Among Chilean women in 2009 and 2013, we examined: (1) an additive index indicating support for legalisation of abortion in several situations and (2) support for each situation separately. We investigated the demographic characteristics associated with support for legalisation using multivariate regression. Over 70% of women supported the legalisation of abortion in cases of risk to the woman's life, rape and foetal malformation, and support was higher in 2013 compared to 2009 (β = 0.28; 95% CI: 0.12, 0.44). Women with increasing education and those attending church services less frequently were more likely to support the legalisation of abortion (β = 0.27; 95% CI: 0.11, 0.43), while those affiliated to a religion other than Catholicism (β = - 0.32; 95% CI: - 0.48, - 0.16) were less likely to do so. Our study is the first to examine public opinions on abortion in Chile and differences in levels of support across time periods. Results indicate that current policies may not reflect trends in public opinion.

“…By contrast, data from Chile on sexual aggression victimization and perpetration, particularly among young adults, is limited. In Chile, the Catholic Church is a strong source of influence on social norms and public policy, in particular referring to sexuality (Lehrer et al, 2009; Morán Faúndes, 2013). For example, abortion is illegal under any circumstances, including incest or rape (Amnesty International, 2015), and divorce, which was not legalized until 2004, is opposed by the Catholic Church (Blofield, 2006).…”

Sexual Aggression Victimization and Perpetration among Male and Female College Students in Chile

et al. 2016

Evidence on the prevalence of sexual aggression among college students is primarily based on studies from Western countries. In Chile, a South American country strongly influenced by the Catholic Church, little research on sexual aggression among college students is available. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to examine the prevalence of sexual aggression victimization and perpetration since the age of 14 (the legal age of consent) in a sample of male and female students aged between 18 and 29 years from five Chilean universities (N = 1135), to consider possible gender differences, and to study the extent to which alcohol was involved in the reported incidents of perpetration and victimization. Sexual aggression victimization and perpetration was measured with a Chilean Spanish version of the Sexual Aggression and Victimization Scale (SAV-S), which includes three coercive strategies (use or threat of physical force, exploitation of an incapacitated state, and verbal pressure), three victim-perpetrator constellations (current or former partners, friends/acquaintances, and strangers), and four sexual acts (sexual touch, attempted sexual intercourse, completed sexual intercourse, and other sexual acts, such as oral sex). Overall, 51.9% of women and 48.0% of men reported at least one incident of sexual victimization, and 26.8% of men and 16.5% of women reported at least one incident of sexual aggression perpetration since the age of 14. For victimization, only few gender differences were found, but significantly more men than women reported sexual aggression perpetration. A large proportion of perpetrators also reported victimization experiences. Regarding victim-perpetrator relationship, sexual aggression victimization and perpetration were more common between persons who knew each other than between strangers. Alcohol use by the perpetrator, victim, or both was involved in many incidents of sexual aggression victimization and perpetration, particularly among strangers. The present data are the first to provide a systematic and detailed picture of sexual aggression among college students in Chile, including victimization and perpetration reports by both men and women and confirming the critical role of alcohol established in past research from Western countries.

“…Lehrer, E.L., Lehrer, V.L. & Krauss, 2009;Morán Faúndes, 2013a), Chile es un país que se ha caracterizado por un férreo control conservador de sus políticas públicas de sexualidad y reproducción, derivado principalmente desde la Iglesia Católica. Ejemplos de esto son la difícil aprobación de la píldora anticonceptiva de emergencia, que recién ocurrió el año 2010 (Morán Faúndes, 2013b), la ilegalidad del aborto en cualquier tipo de circunstancia, incluyendo la violación o la inviabilidad del feto (Amnistía Internacional, 2015) y la legalización del divorcio en el año 2004 (Blofield, 2006).…”

Durante los últimos años en Chile se ha detectado una masificación en el uso de anticonceptivos orales. Sin embargo, en Chile y al igual que en casi todos los países latinoamericanos prácticamente no se han investigado sus implicancias sobre la conducta humana. Específicamente, este estudio evaluó el impacto del uso de estos anticonceptivos sobre la conducta de emparejamiento en un grupo de 164 mujeres jóvenes universitarias, con una media de edad igual a 19 años y provenientes de cuatro universidades chilenas. Para ello se utilizó la adaptación chilena del Cuestionario de Componentes del Valor de Pareja que está compuesto por 22 ítems que se responden en una escala Likert de siete valores. Los resultados señalan diferencias entre las mujeres que consumen píldoras anticonceptivas (PA) y las que no lo hacen. Las consumidoras presentan los mayores
