El aborto ha sido siempre un tema complejo que, en la actualidad, sigue suscitando intensos debates desde planteamientos muy dispares y posturas irreconciliables. Detrás de las diferentes líneas argumentativas para legitimar o no la interrupción voluntaria de la gestación existe un análisis de salud sexual y reproductiva desde una óptica moral con una concepción determinada de la “maternidad” que condiciona la jurisprudencia de los diferentes países. Muchas legislaciones permiten el aborto por cuestiones de salud, pero la defensa de la libertad de las mujeres lo reivindica como un derecho humano.<br /><br />Abortion has been always a complex subject still carries on causing heated discussions from very disparate criteria and irreconcilable positions. Behind the different argumentative lines to legitimate, or not, the voluntary termination of pregnancy, there is an analysis on sexual and reproductive health from a moral viewpoint with a certain conception of “motherhood” that conditions all countries’ jurisprudence. Many legislations authorize abortion on heath matters, but the defense of the women’s freedom demands it as a human right.<br /><br />

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.

Resumen: En las instituciones, leyes y políticasen las sociedades occidentales, las figuras institucionalizadasde la madre y del padre van ligadasa la subordinación sociocultural de la mujer, demodo que la relación jerárquica aparece vinculadaa la reproducción. La Política de Salud Sexual yReproductiva de Colombia, 2003-2006, basada enesta asociación imaginaria entre la mujer y la madre,si bien en principio busca contribuir al cambiodel estatuto de las mujeres en el país, choca contrala barrera simbólica que impide comprender yatender las problemáticas que afectan a las mujeresen tanto que tales, y no únicamente como madres yprotectoras de las futuras generaciones. Este trabajose propone contribuir a hacer visibles estas barrerasanalizando el origen de dichos imaginariosy centrando la discusión en las problemáticas queafectan a las mujeres en tanto que sujetos de derechosy no solamente en tanto que progenitoras.Palabras clave: diferencia sexual, imaginarios dela mujer, salud sexual y reproductiva, políticas públicas.Images of Women in the Sexual and ReproductiveHealth Public Policy in Colombia, 2003-2006Abstract: In institutions, laws and policy inWestern societies, the institutionalized figures of themother and the father are linked to women’s socioculturalsubordination, so that the hierarchical relationis linked to reproduction. Colombia’s Sexualand Reproductive Health Policy, 2003-2006, basedon the imaginary association between woman andthe mother, although seeking in principle to contributeto changes in women’s status, clashes againstthe symbolic barrier that prevents understandingof and attention to women’s problems, tending toview them only as mothers and caregivers for futuregenerations. This paper aims to contribute to makethese barriers visible by analyzing the origin ofthese images and centering the discussion on problemsaffecting women as subjects of rights and notmerely as mothers.Key words: sexual difference, images of women,sexual and reproductive health, public policies

Abstract Background: Meeting the Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for populations living in fragile and humanitarian settings is critical, essential as well as a basic human right. Compounded with the inherent vulnerabilities of women in crises, there are substantial complications that directly associated with increasing the risks of poor SRHR outcomes for displaced populations. The current forced displacement of the Venezuelans migrants is one of the largest in the Latin America’s history. Our research aimed to assess sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) situation among Venezuelan women in Roraima State, Brazil. Methods: A study with face-to-face interviews was conducted. Data collection covered various issues pertaining to SRHR services, access and use among Venezuelan migrant’s women aged 18-49 years old. We used to data collection the Minimum Initial Service Package readiness assessment tools from the Inter-Agency Working Group on Reproductive Health. Results: We present results of interviews with 405 women were conducted between 24 and 30 November 2019. The most common observed findings in our research as reported by women were unmet family planning needs. A significant proportion of women who needed family planning reported that they were unable to access family planning. This was attributed to either inability to access them and unavailability at the health care centres. Further, 25.0% of pregnant women or postpartum women did not receive antenatal or postnatal care. Conclusion: Meeting the essential SRHR needs among Venezuelan’s migrant women in Roraima, State, Brazil appears to be limited and challenging. Given the high and growing numbers of this migrant population in Brazil, the Brazilian health system must be adaptable to meet the needs of this population. Efforts among not only health governmental sectors, but also academic, non-governmental and international organisations need to be encouraged as well as coordinated for a comprehensive SRHR response. Given the current high risks associated with the Covid-19 pandemic. Meeting the SRH needs migrant populations has become more critical than ever given the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract Aim: The right to health is a universal human right, and this includes sexual and reproductive health services. The aim of this study is to explore the opinions of Iranian university students toward facilitators and barriers to sexual and reproductive health services. Materials and methods: In 2012, a random sample of 548 university students completed anonymous, self-administered questionnaires. Topics covered the participants’ attitudes towards facilitators and barriers to sexual and reproductive health services in personal, interpersonal, and structural domains. Results: Mean age of participants was 21.57 years and 57.82% were female. The maximum score of facilitators and barriers to sexual and reproductive health services was related to “Young people’s participation in sexual and reproductive health services provision” and “Fear of stigmatization”, respectively. The results showed that among female university students, the mean score of personal and structural facilitators was significantly higher than the mean score of interpersonal ones (F=12.23, p<0.001). This difference was also reported in barrier factors (F=5.51, p=0.004). Conclusion: Results highlight the roles of policy makers and health service providers in improving accessibility to provided services for young people through the enforcement of facilitators and reduction of barriers, particularly in the areas of personal and structural facilitators focusing on female services.
