abstract: 'Economic empowerment brings with it a wide range of consequences, both
|
||||
|
||||
positive and negative. The objective of this paper was to examine the
|
||||
|
||||
relationship between economic empowerment and the sexual behaviour and
|
||||
|
||||
practices of migrant workers within the context of HIV and AIDS in the
|
||||
|
||||
Lesotho textile industry. Data for this paper were extracted from the
|
||||
|
||||
findings of a larger study which had been conducted concerning HIV and
|
||||
|
||||
AIDS in the textile industry in Lesotho. Using in-depth interviews, data
|
||||
|
||||
were collected from 40 participants who were purposively selected from
|
||||
|
||||
five factories which had been chosen randomly. Empowerment theory was
|
||||
|
||||
used as a lens to provide meanings for the experiences of the
|
||||
|
||||
participants. The findings show that the participants were empowered
|
||||
|
||||
only in certain respects in terms of Kabeer''s empowerment model of
|
||||
|
||||
`power to'' and `power within'', on one hand, and in terms of Malhotra''s
|
||||
|
||||
comprehensive empowerment framework at the household level, on the
|
||||
|
||||
other, as being employed in the industry enabled them to participate in
|
||||
|
||||
the economy. Employment in the sector provided the participants with the
|
||||
|
||||
means to be able to acquire basic needs and the ability to participate
|
||||
|
||||
in household decision-making: for the female participants, the ability
|
||||
|
||||
to make independent sexual decisions was also enhanced. These
|
||||
|
||||
improvements were greeted enthusiastically, particularly by the female
|
||||
|
||||
participants, given their previously disadvantaged status as a result of
|
||||
|
||||
coming from rural patriarchal villages with gender-defined hegemonic
|
||||
|
||||
notions of respectability. The findings also indicate that environmental
|
||||
|
||||
factors and others, such as meagre salaries, encouraged some of the
|
||||
|
||||
female workers to engage in transactional sex, while some of the male
|
||||
|
||||
participants tended to increase their sexual relationships as a result
|
||||
|
||||
of acquiring employment and income from the industry. It is the
|
||||
|
||||
contention of the authors of this study that true empowerment requires
|
||||
|
||||
both vital resources and individual and collective participation,
|
||||
|
||||
particularly for the women, who are more vulnerable than men. Finally,
|
||||
|
||||
we conclude that the opportunities provided by economic empowerment have
|
||||
|
||||
given the participants a new social meaning for their situation and an
|
||||
|
||||
awareness about their place in power relations.'
