Abstract

The article reports a study which examined the association between ethnic identity and sexual coercion among Black African men in the rural areas of the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The results revealed that men with high cultural affiliation were significantly less likely to sexually coerce someone. The findings suggest that emphasizing cultural commitment may reduce sexual coercion, though findings need to be replicated.
