It also investigated the relationship between…
Perpetration of physical and sexual abuse and subsequent fathering of pregnancies among a cohort of young South African men
Open AccessNicola Christofides, Nicola J Christofides et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2014
Young men's perpetration of partner violence is an important predictor of subsequently fathering a pregnancy. The explanation may lie with South African hegemonic masculinity, which valorizes control of women and displays of heterosexuality and virility, and compromises women's reproductive choices

Problematizing pollution
Rachel Jewkes, Rachel K Jewkes et al.ARTICLEMedical Anthropology1999Cited by: 11References: 13
Ethnographies, particularly from Southern Africa, often suggest that there is a single notion of pollution as a state of ‘ritual’ impurity, which in medical anthropology can be found as an etiological category. While ‘the’ notion of pollution is often used as a tool in social and cultural analysis, it is rarely considered as an object of analysis, i.e. there is a failure to problematize it. In this paper we argue that in Southern African ethnomed…

Data were collected for all women admitted to a random sample of hospitals with incomplete abortion during a two-week period. The WHO protocol for such studies was used as a basis for developing the methods to describe the epidemiology of incomplete abortion and hospital management of cases. Attempts were made to…
