Fatshimetrie conducted an in-depth investigation into sexual deviance in Kinshasa, highlighting the root causes and social impacts of these behaviors. The findings of this study revealed a complex and multidimensional reality, raising essential questions about Congolese society and the challenges it faces.
In an exclusive interview with sociologist Vincent Bauna, the analysis of the biological, psychological and sociocultural factors at the origin of sexual deviance was essential to shed light on the phenomenon. Bauna emphasized the importance of a holistic approach to understanding and addressing these behaviors, highlighting the impact of childhood trauma, social norms and economic pressures on the construction of sexual identities.
The consequences of sexual deviance, both for individuals and for society as a whole, have also been explored in depth. Issues such as stigma, discrimination, violence and health risks were highlighted, emphasizing the need for collective action to support victims, combat marginalization and promote public health.
In a context where prevention is crucial, concrete recommendations were made by Bauna and other experts to promote inclusive sexuality education, combat stigma, support survivors of sexual abuse and conduct in-depth research on the subject. These measures aim to create an environment favorable to sexual development, based on understanding, respect and inclusion of the diversity of sexual practices and identities.
While Congolese society faces multiple challenges, ranging from poverty to violence, the issue of sexual deviance highlights the need for a global approach, integrating social, political and cultural dimensions to respond to these issues in a sustainable manner. . Fatshimetrie is committed to continuing its exploration of this complex subject, by providing a space for reflection and dialogue to nourish critical and constructive reflection within Congolese society.
