Introduction

New York State makes explicit policy provisions to protect the sexual rights of minor-aged women, women labeled with intellectual disability, and immigrant women. In this qualitative policy analysis, we used the principles of Nussbaum’s (2000) Capabilities Approach to examine whether marginalized women are actually able to exercise these rights.

Method

In Fall 2019 and Spring 2020, we interviewed 39 service providers in Buffalo, New York, to learn about the policies affecting diverse marginalized women’s sexual rights and sexual health resources. After verifying the accuracy of providers’ perceptions by triangulating these with the policies’ texts, we thematically analyzed providers’ comments to identify patterns in how policies shaped women’s sexual rights.

Results

We identified three categories of policy-based barriers: those that regulate women’s sexual rights by design; those that interfered with sexual rights by accident; and policies that obstructed sexual rights by default, largely because marginalized women and/or sexuality were not considered. We provide examples of how each policy-based barrier affects each group of marginalized women.

Conclusions

Despite living in a state that formally recognizes their sexual rights, the actual sexual capabilities of minor girls, women labeled with ID, and immigrant women are attenuated by social policies. We consider the broad implications of the three types of policy-based barriers and offer specific recommendations for reducing these such that marginalized women are actually able to exercise their sexual rights.

在书面权利与实地能力之间:基于政策的边缘化妇女性权利障碍

介绍

纽约州制定了明确的政策规定,以保护未成年妇女,有智力障碍的妇女和移民妇女的性权利。在此定性政策分析中,我们使用了Nussbaum(2000)能力方法的原理来检验边缘化妇女是否实际上能够行使这些权利。

方法

在2019年秋季和2020年春季,我们采访了纽约州布法罗市的39家服务提供商,以了解影响到各种边缘化妇女的性权利和性健康资源的政策。通过将提供者的看法与政策文本进行三角剖分来验证提供者看法的准确性之后,我们对提供者的意见进行了主题分析,以确定政策如何塑造妇女的性权利。

结果

我们确定了三类基于政策的壁垒:通过设计来规范妇女性权利壁垒偶然 干涉性权利; 和默认情况下阻碍性权利政策,主要是因为未考虑边缘化的妇女和/或性行为。我们提供了一些示例,说明每个基于政策的壁垒如何影响每组边缘化妇女。

结论

尽管生活在一个正式承认其性权利的州,但社会政策削弱了未成年女孩,带有身份证明标签的妇女和移民妇女的实际性能力。我们考虑了三种基于政策的障碍的广泛影响,并提出了减少这些障碍的具体建议,以使边缘化妇女实际上能够行使其性权利。
