Concept information
Preferred term
sexuality and reproduction
Definition
- In patriarchal cultures, the concepts of sexuality and reproduction are often tightly intertwined, making it difficult to imagine each as occupying different social, moral, emotional, and physical terrain. From the perspective of feminists and human rights advocates, reproduction should be seen as a distinct human experience from sexuality, with both categories meriting individual rights-based protection.
