Perched precariously within the socio-economic hierarchy of the Zimbabwean nation, young female students in tertiary institutions adopt different strategies to survive and sustain themselves as they continue with their studies. This article considers how young women constitute sexual subjectivity through an analysis of primary narratives circulating around specific sexual practices and decisions. Focus is placed on how young women's sexual choices are influenced and enveloped within unequal gender relations, which afford them little space to negotiate the nature of sexual relationships
