“…As well in a similar study done by Ogunfowokan and Fajemilehin (2012), on the impact of school-based sexual abuse prevention education program on the knowledge and attitude of high school girls, found that there was significant increase in the knowledge mean scores of the girls at post intervention stage. Similarly, with the study conducted by Gurung et al (2016), on knowledge of sexual harassment among the undergraduate students in Udupi District, the study revealed that 82.4% of the students had average knowledge, 13.2% had good knowledge and 4.4% had poor knowledge on sexual harassment.…”

“…For example, Cook () highlights the discordance between safe sex education messages that emphasise individual choice and responsibility and the complexities of condom negotiation that is intricately interweaved with social expectations of appropriate femininity. Ogunfowokan and Fajemilehin () argue that sexual abuse prevention education programmes aimed at schoolgirls need to be supported by the ‘correction’ of ‘myths of sexual abuse …. in the larger society’ (459).…”

Nurses play a key role in the provision of services in relation to sexuality in both primary and sexual and reproductive health-care. Given the intersection of sexualities with a range of social injustices, this study reviews research on nursing practice concerning sexuality from an emancipatory/social justice perspective. A systematic review of English articles published in nursing journals appearing on the Web of Science database from 2009 to 2014 was conducted. Thirty-eight articles met the inclusion criteria. Analysis consisted of a descriptive phase (types and location of studies, aspects of sexualities focused on, target health users and aspects of nursing practice focused on) and a critical/emancipatory phase. In terms of practice, our analysis revealed that: barriers exist to the integration of issues relating to sexuality in nursing practice; the social location of nurses and their personal feelings regarding sexuality influence their practice; content that addresses gendered norms and media that assist in communication underpin some emancipatory practices. Few studies locate analyses of nursing practice within gendered, cultural and social norms; consider advocacy as part of the practice of nurses; or analyse the promotion of health user participation in health services and structures. The implications for emancipatory practice are drawn out.

“…There is evidence to suggest campaigns are effective in enhancing viewers knowledge (Rheingold, Campbell, Self-Brown, de Arellano, Resnick, & Kilpatrick (2007). For example, Ogunfowokan and Fajemilehin (2012) gave female school students a sexual abuse prevention education package and found whilst this increased knowledge about sexual abuse, no significant change was found in their attitudes.…”

Participants conflate consent and wantedness when judging situations as rape (Peterson & Muehlenhard, 2007). Pleasure might also affect how such situations might be appraised by victims, perpetrators, and jurors. In four experiments, participants read vignettes describing sexual encounters that were consensual or not, wanted or unwanted, and pleasurable or not pleasurable. Participants judged whether they thought each situation described rape and how distressing they thought the encounter would be. Wantedness affected perceived distress when consent was given. Wantedness and pleasure also influenced whether participants considered the situation rape in nonconsensual scenarios. In additional experiments, we analysed the results by gender, manipulated perspective (being the subject or initiator of the encounter), levels of aggression, and compared the results to a group of participants who had viewed an anti-abuse campaign. Male participants and those higher in benevolent sexism were more likely than women to utilise pleasure and wantedness in judging whether situations described rape. Perspective and viewing the media campaign did not significantly affect judgements of rape. Our results have implications for models of the consequences of consent, wantedness, and pleasure of sex, and important implications for educational programmes aimed at reducing sexual assault and training for those involved in criminal justice.
