Beyond the glass and high walls
Negotiating everyday gender-based violence
India and South Africa are two rapidly transforming economies grappling with social and political transitions - the ongoing consolidation and contestation of Hindu nationalist populism in India and the project of post-apartheid reconstruction and transformation in South Africa. Within these contexts, violence against women remains high, despite a raft of progressive legislation aimed at tackling such violence. In this article, we offer a broad ov…

Engaging the ‘Missing Men’ in the HIV Treatment Cascade
Men, especially young men, have been consistently missing from the HIV care cascade, leading to poor health outcomes in men and ongoing transmission of HIV in young women in South Africa. Although these men may not be missing for the same reasons across the cascade and may need different interventions, early work has shown similar trends in men's low uptake of HIV care services and suggested that the social costs of testing and accessing care are…
Laying Claim to a Name
Terms such as “gender-based violence” are connected with a range of evolving discourses that are not merely descriptive, but interpretive and political in nature. Yet, what makes violence “gender-based” is often implicit rather than explicit. In this Debates we argue that there needs to be greater specificity about what is gendered about gender-based violence, while allowing for the continued elasticity of the concept for application across diver…
Exploring narratives and advocating support and peer mentorship to improve HIV-positive adolescent mothers’ lives in South Africa
Research on adolescent sexuality, health and parenting has gained much attention in recent years. This growing body of research, however, has arguably limited qualitative outputs on HIV-positive adolescent mothers' sexual and reproductive health choices, needs, and rights in South Africa that could lead to informed policymaking. Through in-depth interviews conducted with a select group of ten HIV-positive adolescents and three key informants, the…
Turning the Lens Toward Emotions
The idea that adolescence, an important developmental stage in human life is embodied in emotions is not new. However, the association between adolescence, unplanned motherhood, and HIV infection, which often lead to unanticipated transitions, may influence a rethink toward understanding the emotional and mental states of adolescent mothers. Using a sociological lens, this article draws on the concept of “emotionality” and the importance of payin…

Sexual and Reproductive Health Needs of Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Sub-Saharan Africa
Seventeen articles make up this special collection, covering a range of different, but cross-cutting themes. These highlight contemporary concerns in African research and scholarship about the factors configuring the sexual and reproductive health needs of adolescent girls and young women (AGYW). The articles interrogate contextual and cultural impediments, problematic representations, perceptions of vulnerabilities and rights, experiences of gen…
Framing the problem of rape in South Africa
With rates of rape in South Africa among the highest in the world, the significance of context has surfaced repeatedly in South African scholarship on rape. Most commonly, rape is understood as a symptom of deep and pervasive gender inequality, historical, social and economic legacies of apartheid as well as post-apartheid state discourses that have normalized rape and enabled it to be tolerated. In addition, the role of masculinities has receive…

‘Getting Involved on Campus’
Since 1976 when school students in Soweto took to the streets in active defiance of the apartheid state, students as a political constituency have always been admired, noted and feared for the political positions they have taken and campaigns launched. South African student organisations in the 1980s and 1990s aligned themselves with mass democratic movements and engaged with and shaped their agendas. Commentators suggest however, that the nature…

Family biography, fertility and memory-making in an Aids-affected South African site
The critical challenges of AIDS and poverty in post-apartheid South Africa impact the ways in which memories are articulated and family and fertility histories ultimately constructed. This article considers three life histories written in the course of ethnographic work on women's childbearing conducted intermittently between 1998 and 2014, and typical of other histories in the same peri-urban locale. Personal accounts of a mother and her two dau…

Poverty and intimacy
Over the past decade. AIDS has become part of the existential reality of most South Africans. The epidemic is imbricated in the cultural. moral and political landscape of everyday life. To speak about HIV/AIDS, its prevention. causes and effects often means touching on questions of power, inequity, the struggle for resources, and the contest to determine who has access to what kinds of material and symbolic capital. Such politics are played out n…
University academics, family politics and ‘the egalitarian discourse’
Studies focusing on university academics tend to show considerable gender differences defining workplace opportunities and career trajectories as well as gender inequalities experienced in domestic settings. In South Africa, mothering and social reproductive activities usually delay women's achievements in the teaching and publishing arenas and influence various postponements and interruptions of academic careers. Woman academics often have to st…
Reproductive Dynamics in the Context of Domestic Violence and Economic Insecurity
This article reveals a recent decline in fertility in Africa and specifically in South Africa. It provides a thorough analysis of the aetiology of the decline, which differs in many ways from that presented in traditional approaches to the subject and has implications also for other African countries. Thus "crisis-led" fertility declines may be a more convincing explanation of declining fertility in Africa than explanations emphasising improved s…
