“…Early childhood experience of CSA was also documented as a risk factor for re-victimization as well as initiation into commercial sex work. Lack of proper family support, family and personal history of mental health pathology, and pathological family exposures to sexual images were some of the other potential risk factors, that emerged in the review [ 36 ] [ 37 43 ]. Lack of sanitation and poor safety of women were also found to be community level factors that increased the risks for CSA from the review of qualitative studies [ 44 ].…”

“…Only one quantitative study evaluated the associations between increased risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI) and CSA [ 69 ]. The studies suggest that sexually trafficked women and MSMs involved in commercial sex work and had experienced CSA also report high prevalence and risk behaviors for HIV infection [ 31 , 34 , 37 39 , 45 , 70 – 74 ]. However, their HIV status in this study could be an outcome of sex work rather than the experience of CSA itself.…”

“…Mapping absences and silences as exemplified in this project then creates the space for culture-centered praxis in health communication that emphasizes the possibilities for building dialogic opportunities in subaltern contexts, with an emphasis on listening to the voices at the margins (Basu, 2010;Dutta, 2008;Dutta-Bergman, 2000;Guha & Spivak, 1988). Based on our analysis, we make the argument that contemporary postcolonial scholarship needs to engage with the politics of neoimperialism that underlie the material inequities and dichotomies across the globe, more specifically in terms of the military and economy rationale that underlie global disease management within neoliberalism (see also Dirlik, 2007).…”

“…CCA takes this impetus and applies it to how knowledge claims are made about subaltern groups across the globe, and how the health agendas of such groups are rendered invisible, or irrelevant when compared to the health agendas forwarded by "experts" outside such communities. For example, Basu's (2010) work argues that health interventions targeting sex workers in India need to recognize that sex workers see themselves primarily as mothers providing for their children, and not as a "high-risk" group for HIV/AIDS, as they are often construed within health discourses. The material risks that sex workers undertake are constellated within their role as mothers who provide sustenance and care-a fact that is often erased from the discourse on sex workers.…”
