“…West Javanese people are usually called urang Sunda (Sundanese) (Suryadinata, Arifin, & Ananta, 2003;Ekadjati, 1984). The Sundanese have a different language, culture, and history to the Javanese in central and eastern Java (Riyani & Parker, 2018).…”

Various studies related to family strength indicators have been carried out in various countries. However, research on family strength in Asia, especially in Indonesia, which has a variety of cultures is still not widely conducted. The purpose of this study was to properly explore key indicators of Sundanese family strength in Bandung City, West Java, Indonesia. This study used the qualitative approach specifically the phenomenology method. The participants were four Sundanese families in Bandung City, who identify its family members are Sundanese and are confirmed by the surrounding community as Sundanese. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis. The result uncovered five themes: 1) accommodating conflict strategy or “silih narima” 2.) positive communication 3.) the emotional intimacy 4.) knowing (philosophy of life) or “neang elmu” 5.) the social support of the family of origin. The implication of these findings is discussed.

“…Thus, the study reiterates the importance of understanding sexual health and sexuality education beyond the absence of dysfunction and disease, as emotions and pleasure are significant components of female sexuality that can motivate women to pursue sexual health and are integral to their sexual rights ( World Health Organization [WHO], n.d.a ). However, the literature on sexual healthcare interventions and promotion seldom mentions these positive aspects, possibly due to their sensitive nature, particularly in certain cultural contexts such as Asia ( Woo et al, 2011 ; Riyani and Parker, 2018 ). This prompts us to re-emphasize the need for culturally sensitive approaches to address sexual health and rights in a trustworthy environment ( Svensson et al, 2017 ; Szlachta and Champion, 2020 ; Kwok and Kwok, 2022 ).…”

“…First, it helps explain how multiple structural forces, such as legal conditions, socioeconomic status, gender, 10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1270885 ethnicity, and cultural norms, intersect to create a type of structural violence that disadvantages young migrant workers, denying them access to sexual health and sexuality education. This phenomenon is observable in various contexts of participants' lives, such as limited knowledge and deep-seated beliefs about female sexuality influenced by cultural norms imbued with patriarchal values (e.g., sex is men's domain) in broader sociocultural contexts (Medina, 2008;Riyani and Parker, 2018). These factors generally reduce their negotiating ability in intimate relationships to safeguard their sexual health and motivation to seek for relevant information at the interpersonal level.…”

IntroductionFemale migrant workers form a substantial portion of the global migrant workforce and research indicates they are vulnerable to sexual exploitation and barriers to sexual and reproductive healthcare. This article investigates the perceptions, barriers and opportunities to sexual health and sexuality education experienced by young female migrants in Hong Kong.MethodsThe study adopted a rights-based perspective, employing qualitative methods for data collection, including focus group discussions and semi-structured interviews with 22 female migrants working as domestic workers.ResultsResults indicate that young migrants’ perceptions of sexual health behaviors and access to sexuality education are shaped by various interconnected factors at four distinct levels: individual, interpersonal, social and community, and sociocultural and sociopolitical.DiscussionsThe present study adds to the existing literature by shedding light on certain perspectives that have not been given due emphasis in comparable studies. First, it highlights the importance of migrant community as barrier as well as opportunity in promoting positive health-seeking behaviors in a culturally acceptable manner. Second, it underscores the interplay between structural forces and individual and group-level vulnerability, emphasizing the need to address structural factors to eliminate young migrants’ internalized vulnerability. Third, it draws attention to the positive dimensions of sexual experiences as a motivator for proactive health-seeking and the intricate relationship between cultural practices and positive sexuality. This article recommends a proactive approach of migrant communities to address sexual healthcare issues while public healthcare institutions should proactively provide accessible sexual healthcare information and services.

“…Hal tersebut dikarenakan hubungan seksual yang dilakukan di luar pernikahan merupakan hal yang dianggap tidak pantas di Indonesia. Selain itu, pada perempuan juga terdapat anggapan bahwa hubungan intim dalam pernikahan hanyalah tugasnya dalam memenuhi hak suaminya sehingga bagaimanapun keadaannya ia harus mematuhi suaminya (Riyani & Parker, 2018). Konteks budaya yang demikian diasumsikan dapat menjadi alasan mengapa pada penelitian ini, berbeda dengan penelitian sebelumnya, asertivitas seksual tidak memiliki hubungan yang signifikan dengan kepuasan pernikahan.…”
