Sexual And Reproductive Rights

Violations of women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are frequent all over the world. Women’s sexual and reproductive health is related to multiple human rights. The term ‘rights-based’ has become increasingly linked to the concept of a more comprehensive approach to sexual and reproductive rights of women around the globe. The rights-based perspective is derived from the treaties, pacts and other international commitments that recognize and reinforce human rights, including the sexual and reproductive rights of women. We conducted an extensive review of the guidelines, frameworks, research reports and published articles that have been cited as informing the rights-based approach. The findings of the review highlights what is meant by sexual and reproductive health and rights by the stakeholders, why this matter is important, and what can be done. It demands more partnerships with human rights, women’s and other civil society organizations, increased number of successful national policies, initiatives and/or legislative changes, increased budget and other resources at national and/or local community level, mass communication and engagement of men to promote and advance women’s sexual and reproductive health and rights. Achievement of gender equality is very crucial, because it is a human right that advances women’s empowerment; and is interlinked with sexual and reproductive health and rights.

Sexual And Reproductive Rights

En este artículo presentamos el debate brasileño sobre los derechos sexuales y reproductivos en su condición de derechos políticos que pueden favorecer avances significativos en la concepción y ampliación de los derechos de niñas, niños y adolescentes principalmente referidos al concepto de autonomía. A través de la revisión de los marcos legales y de la literatura, específicamente relacionados a las niñas en el sistema de justicia brasileño, evidenciamos tensiones entre el ejercicio de los derechos sexuales y reproductivos y las respectivas prácticas institucionales. Consideramos que es fundamental una perspectiva de protección que asegure las condiciones de integridad de sus cuerpos, pero que garantice simultáneamente el usufructo de los derechos relativos a la sexualidad. La articulación de derechos sexuales y reproductivos y la salud sexual y reproductiva puede ser un camino prometedor, especialmente para las adolescentes que encuentran mayores obstáculos para su ejercicio. In this article, we present the Brazilian debate on sexual and reproductive rights as political rights, which could bring significant advances in creating and broadening the rights of children and adolescents. By means of a revision of legal milestones and of the literature, more specifically that which relates to girls in the Brazilian justice system, we highlight tensions between sexual and reproductive rights and the respective institutional practices. We consider it crucial to have a protective perspective ensuring conditions for the integrity of their bodies, but that simultaneously guarantees the exercise of rights pertaining to body and sexuality. Coordinating sexual and reproductive rights and sexual and reproductive health may be a promising path, especially for those adolescents who find greater obstacles in exercising these.
