Abstract
RANGEL FLORES, Yesica Yolanda and COSTERO GARBARINO, María Cecilia. Situation of sexual and reproductive rights of women "couples" migrants in two communities of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Revista Col. San Luis [online]. 2016, vol.6, n.12, pp.160-184. ISSN 2007-8846.
Promote sexual and reproductive health implies recognizing the social, cultural and political situation that defines sexuality, recognizing the patriarchal context that frames the exercise of sexuality in the lives of most women in the world. The objective was to understand the sexual and reproductive risks of a group recognized as historically violated, women partners of migrants. The study was conducted from November 2010 to November 2013, 21 women from two locations in San Luis Potosi, Mexico; the collection of information was carried out by "thematic life story", for the analysis, we use the technique of "content analysis" framed in the gender and theories of Foucault and Bourdieu. The results show that in the sexual life of these women converge historical risks (associated with gender stereotypes), with emerging risks resulting from migration dynamics from their partners, the combination of these risks exponentially violates their sexual and reproductive health, particularly because these risks are overlooked. It is urgent to implement healt, social and policy strategies that provide with resources to identify the violation of their sexual and reproductive rights and to assertively confront risks.
