Özet

Üreme özerkliği ve üreme baskısı benzer kavramlar gibi görünse de temelde birbirinden oldukça farklı, hatta çoğu zaman birbiriyle çelişen iki olgudur. Bu iki kavramı doğru bir şekilde ayırt etmek hem toplumsal hem de bireysel düzeyde üreme ile ilgili dinamikleri anlamamıza yardımcı olabilir. Üreme hakları, üreme özgürlüğü, üreme seçimi ve üreme adaleti gibi terimler etrafında şekillenen bir kavram olan üreme özerkliği; bireylerin üreme kararlarını kendi iradeleri, tercihleri ve istekleri doğrultusunda verme hakkını ifade eder. Buna karşılık üreme baskısı; kişilerarası ilişkiler düzeyinde ortaya çıkan toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı bir şiddet türüdür ve üreme özerkliğini ortadan kaldırmayı veya sınırlandırmayı hedefler. Bu yönüyle üreme baskısı, üreme özerkliğine doğrudan zıt bir kavramdır. Kadının üreme baskısı ile başa çıkabilmesi ve üreme ile ilgili konularda özgürce karar verebilmesi için üreme özerkliğine sahip olması oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışma, uluslararası literatür çerçevesinde üreme özerkliği ile üreme baskısı arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmada; üreme özerkliğinin kısıtlanmasında üreme baskısının rolü, üreme baskısının üreme özerkliği üzerindeki etkileri ile üreme özerkliğinin güçlendirilmesine ve üreme baskısının önlenmesine yönelik kapsamlı literatür bilgisine yer verilmiştir.

Abstract

While reproductive autonomy and reproductive coercion may appear to be related concepts, they represent fundamentally different—and often opposing—realities. A clear distinction between these two concepts can help us understand the dynamics of reproduction at both societal and individual levels. Reproductive autonomy, a concept shaped around terms such as reproductive rights, reproductive freedom, reproductive choice, and reproductive justice, refers to the right of individuals to make decisions about reproduction based on their own will, preferences, and desires. In contrast, reproductive coercion is a form of gender-based violence that emerges in interpersonal relationships and aims to eliminate or restrict reproductive autonomy. In this respect, reproductive coercion directly opposes the concept of reproductive autonomy. For women to cope with reproductive coercion and to have the power to make free decisions regarding reproductive issues, it is crucial that they possess reproductive autonomy. This study was conducted to examine the relationship between reproductive autonomy and reproductive coercion in international contexts. It includes a comprehensive review of the literature on the role of reproductive coercion in restricting reproductive autonomy, the effects of reproductive coercion on reproductive autonomy, and strategies for strengthening reproductive autonomy and preventing reproductive coercion.
