2. Socio-cultural Factors

چکیده
People’s control over their sexual lives and choices is in turn shaped by gender-related values and norms defining masculinity and femininity. These culturally-defined gender values and norms evolve through a process of socialization starting from an early stage of infancy. They determine and reinforce themselves through traditional practices such as wife sharing, widowhood related rituals, early marriage, female genital mutilation and the condoning of gender-based violence. These cultural practices, values, norms, and traditions have strong influences on the visible aspects of individual behaviors and are important determinants of men’s and women’s vulnerability to HIV.
