dc.description.abstract |
This study focuses on the important issue of young adult
female sexuality in an age of HIV/AIDS and looks at the
influence of the parental home, the church and young
black women’s own belief about their sexual behaviour.
Sexuality is influenced by societal voices (shaped by
history) that override religious and parental voices.
Parents are hesitant to speak out, the church is burdened
with an antiquated and unworkable sexual ethics and the
young women’’s belief is overpowered by social
discourses. Male domination and infidelity exacerbate
female vulnerability and contribute to the powerlessness of
young women in sexual relationships. Feminist theology
puts forward a comprehensive theology that demands
integrated embodiment and full humanity for women,
serving as a corrective for historical and societal voices.
This can be achieved when relationships are mutual,
reciprocal and empowering. This study proposes an
accountable, sexual ethics that will renew and recreate the
lives and relationships of young people in a confusing and
perilous environment. |
