To reduce their risk of being a victim of sexual violence and thus of being infected with HIV, women are expected to stay inside, safe, sedentary and secluded with the inference being that if this code of behaviour is not observed, "rape is the consequence of women being out of place" [ 34].

So many of us depend on our cars to get around -- but, in addition to guzzling gas, this habit allows us to be sedentary in our travel, starting a day-long trend of staying still.
These benthic fish species have a sedentary behavior, stay close to the river bottom and cover relatively short distances, allowing us to regard the sampling sites up- and downstream of the SSB as being independent from one another.
Sedentary males stayed at one fragment and sang at high rates, while mobile males spent 58% of the total time tracked off their capture fragment and traveled over a kilometer away from the capture site over open fields and through forests.
