TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - "If I don't allow him to have sex with me, our relationship will be broken": rape, sexual coercion, and sexual compliance within marriage in rural Cambodia JO - Violence against women A1 - Farvid, PanteĆ” A1 - Saing, Rany SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - Rape, sexual coercion, and sexual compliance within marriage are major components of gender-based violence globally. This article examines a range of non-consensual sexual experiences within heterosexual marriage in Aoral and Thpong districts in Kampong Speu, Cambodia. Interviews were conducted with 11 married women and thematically analyzed from a critical realist and feminist perspective. Four categories of non-consensual sex were identified and analyzed (rape/forced sex, sexual coercion, sexual compliance, and internalized pressure). These are discussed in detail, alongside the need for educational efforts that disrupt traditional gender norms that create a context conducive to women's non-consensual sex in Cambodia.
