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 Background: Guaranteeing the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of populations living in fragile and humanitarian settings is essential and constitutes a basic human right. Compounded by the inherent vulnerabilities of women in crises, substantial complications are directly associated with increased risks of poor SRHR outcomes for displaced populations. The migration of Venezuelans, displaced due to current economic circumstances, is one of the largest in Latin America’s history. This study aims to provide an overview of the sexual and reproductive health (SRH) issues affecting migrant Venezuelan women in the state of Roraima, Brazil.Methods: Face-to-face interviews were conducted from 24 to 30 November 2019. Data collection covered various issues involving access to and use of SRH services by 405 migrant Venezuelan women aged 18-49 years. The Minimum Initial Service Package readiness assessment tools, available from the Inter-Agency Working Group on Reproductive Health in Crises, were used in the data collection.Results: Most commonly, the women reported unmet family planning needs. Of these, a significant proportion reported being unable to obtain contraceptive methods, particularly long-acting reversible contraceptives, either due to the woman’s inability to access them or their unavailability at healthcare centres. Although a significant proportion of women were largely satisfied with the attention received at the maternity hospital, both before and during childbirth, 24.0% of pregnant or postpartum women failed to receive any prenatal or postnatal care. Conclusion: Meeting the essential SRHR needs of migrant Venezuelan women in Roraima, Brazil is a challenge that has yet to be fully addressed. Given the size of this migrant population, the Brazilian healthcare system has failed to adapt sufficiently to meet their needs; however, problems with healthcare provision are similar for migrants and Brazilian citizens. Efforts need to be encouraged not only in governmental health sectors, but also with academic, non-governmental and international organisations, including a coordinated approach to ensure a comprehensive SRHR response. Given the current high risks associated with the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, meeting the SRHR needs of migrant populations has become more critical than ever.

Abstract Early pregnancies are often linked to precarious situations. Even if Belgium has seen a decrease in teenage pregnancies, in the former mining region of the Hainaut there are still twice as many births to young women under 20 compared to the national rate. Colfontaine is one of the poorest cities in Belgium. Last year, one of the local high schools counted 10 pregnant teenagers out of 450 students. Médecins du Monde was already present in the city at the time with a mobile health clinic called the Médibus. In response, we carried out a mapping of the local sexual and reproductive health actors. The lack of accessibility to social and health structures capable of welcoming teenagers anonymously and free of charge quickly emerged as a problem, the nearest family planning center being located 30 minutes away by bus. In September 2019, in partnership with 5 local health actors, we decided to reshape the Médibus into the Adobus in order to offer family planning consultations, health promotion and harm reduction activities at the high school once a week. In addition to offering health information services, we also aim to detect teenagers experiencing vulnerable situations such as addiction, violence, gender issues and refer them to appropriate services. Halfway through the project, we met 430 teenagers in 14 afternoons. The most common reasons for consultation (N = 310) were questions related to contraception for 29% and to sexually transmitted infections for 24,5%. 70,9% of teenagers received condoms and 13 girls were tested for pregnancy. One girl received a morning-after pill. 3 teenagers with addiction problems and 17 victims of violence were detected. The teams referred 18 teenagers to other services. The success of this outreach project confirms the need for information regarding sexual and reproductive health for teenagers living in precarious situations as well as the need to develop reachable and affordable sexual and reproductive health services in semi-rural areas. Key messages Outreach is an efficient approach to respond to teenagers’ needs in poor semi-rural areas. Outreach facilitated the detection of early pregnancies, addiction and violence issues among teenagers.

<p>Introducción: Los derechos a la salud sexual y reproductiva (DSSR) son básicos, y la capacidad de las mujeres para ejercerlos influye en lograr objetivos de desarrollo. Objetivos: Estimar indicadores de DSSR en mujeres de 20-29 años identificando factores asociados. Métodos: Con datos de la Encuesta Nacional de Salud Sexual y Reproductiva 2014-2015 se analizaron 1206 casadas/unidas (982 con demanda de planificación familiar, 1082 con hijos, y 978 usuarias de anticonceptivos), midiéndose la violencia conyugal en el último año, conocimiento sobre prevención del VIH, demanda satisfecha con anticonceptivos modernos, atención profesional al parto y autonomía. Se utilizó la regresión logística multivariada para probar asociaciones. Resultados: Padeció violencia conyugal 13.0%, tenía conocimiento sobre prevención del VIH 38.8%, satisfacía su demanda de planificación familiar con métodos modernos 62.0%; recibió atención profesional al parto 81.1%; y mostró autonomía 10.3%. Las oportunidades relativas ajustadas (ORa) de violencia conyugal eran mayores en mujeres que la justificaban ORa=1.92;IC95%:1.09-3.39); el conocimiento sobre prevención del VIH aumentaba con la escolaridad (ORa=1.13;IC95%:1.04-1.22); la satisfacción de la demanda con métodos modernos era menor si justificaban la violencia conyugal (ORa=0.42; IC95%:0.20-0.85) y mayor en aquellas con una mayor percepción de empoderamiento (ORa=2.33;IC95%:1.15-5.00). Las ORa de atención profesional en el último parto disminuyen cuando aumentaba la edad (ORa=0.72;IC95%:0.62-0.84), y era menor si experimentaron matrimonio infantil (ORa=0.43;IC95%:0.19-0.95). Las ORa de mayor autonomía resultaron menores en casadas (ORa=0.22;IC95%:0.10-0.47) y amas de casa (ORa=0.53;IC95%:0.28-0.98). Conclusiones: El ejercicio de DSSR y sus factores asociados constituyen desafíos al diseño de políticas públicas.</p><p>Abstract</p><p>Introduction: Sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) are basic, and women capacity to exert them influence achieving development goals. Objectives: Estimate indicators of SRHR in women aged 20-29 years, identifying associated factors. Methods: A total of 1206 married/cohabitant women (908 with need for family planning, 1082 with children and 978 contraceptive users) were analyzed with data from National Sexual and Reproductive Health Survey 2014-2015. It was obtained the proportion of conjugal violence victims in the last year, with knowledge about VIH prevention, family planning needs satisfied by modern contraceptive methods, with professional care at delivery and with autonomy. Multivariate logistic regression was used to test associations. Results: The 13.0% of women suffered conjugal violence, 38.8% had knowledge about HIV prevention, 62.0% used modern contraceptives for satisfying family planning needs, 81.1% received professional care at delivery, and 30.7% made informed decisions about SRH. Adjusted odds ratio (AOR) for conjugal violence were greater when women justified violence (AOR=1.92;95%CI:1.09-3.39); knowledge about HIV prevention increases with schooling (AOR=1.13;95%CI:1.04-1.22); family planning met with modern contraceptives methods was lower, if they justified violence (AOR=0.42;95%CI 0.20-0.85) and higher in women with a higher empowerment perception (AOR=2.33;95%CI:1.15-5.00). The AOR for professional care at last delivery decrease with increasing age (AOR=0.72;95%CI:0.62-0.84) and was lower if they experienced child marriage (AOR=0.43;95%CI:0.19-0.95). The AOR for autonomy was lower in married women (AOR=0.22;95%CI:0.10-0.47) and housewives (AOR=0.53;95%CI:0.28-0.98). Conclusions: The exert of SRHR and its associated factors challenge public policies design.</p>

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.

Abstract background: In recent years, contraceptives have developed rapidly, which are divided into modern contraceptives and non-modern contraceptives. The use of contraceptives less unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections(STIs) including HIV. And cause traditional attitudes towards sex, marriage and family have changed. It leads to a lack of caution about sex and pre-marital sex is more acceptable. Hence, the number of miscarriages caused by unwanted pregnancies has increased. People is going to settle many of sexual and reproductive health matters. Methods: This study, was conducted of about 103 counties in Hubei Province from August 2014 to July 2016, which used frequencies, percentage, mean, chi-square, logistic regression to analysis this data that collected from 17555 respondents. (IBM-SPSS v 25.0)Results: The results in this article describe more men (62.6%) received family planning services education than women (37.4%). And people who did not participate in family planning services education, 17.0% and 21.9% did not know about vasectomy and withdrew as a method of male contraception, respectively. Striking, up to 23.9% and 22.8% of people with or without participating in family planning services education had experienced contraceptive failure (pregnancy for example) in couple. Age, educational, occupational status and the number of living children were strongly associated with contraceptive failure within participating in family planning services education. Only age, place of residence and number of living children were significant associated with contraceptive failure without participating in family planning services education. The figure showed greatly unmet needs of education and reproductive health whether or not to accept family planning services educationConclusion: There is a huge difference in Knowledge and use of contraceptives, as well as unmet educational and reproductive health needs between those who participated in family planning services education and those who did not. That means people who participate in family planning services education got more about sexual and reproductive health education and understand the important of the family planning services. Therefore, it is necessary to provide family planning services for more people and regions to obtain a good understanding of contraceptives, sexual intercourse and unintended pregnancy.
