As a society becomes more modernized, the role of women in a working place is increasing. A quite large number of women work in various sectors: agriculture, industry, and services. While their participation contributes to the welfare of their family and society at large, the health implication (particularly on reproductive health) needs considerable attention. The study shows the incidence of various reproductive health problems in a working place and low attention given by the employers to this problem. Statutes and government regulations have been made to protect female labours from reproductive health problems, but these laws and regulations have not been implemented consistently by the employers. This studyproposes to increase the government control on reproductive health services and protection given by employers to private industries, and to give the workers the right to organize themselves so that they can obtain the power to have reproductive health services as well as protection from their employers.

Health Rights

 Reproductive rights are fundamental rights and freedoms relating to reproduction and reproductive health that vary amongst countries around the world, but have a commonality about the protection, preservation and promotion of a woman‘s reproductive health rights. Reproductive rights include the right to autonomy and self-determination , the right of everyone to make free and informed decisions and have full control over their body, sexuality, health, relationships, and if, when and with whom to partner, marry and have children , without any form of discrimination, stigma, coercion or violence. The access and availability of reproductive health services are limited due to geography and other issues, non-availability and refusal of reproductive health services may lead to serious consequences. The State need to ensure accessibility, availability, safe and quality reproductive health services and address the lifecycle needs of women and girls and provide access of every young women and girls to comprehensive sexuality education based on their evolving capacity as their human rights, through its inclusion and proper implementation in school curriculum, community-based awareness program and youth led mass media. It is necessary for strengthening compliance, in a time-bound manner, with international human rights standards that Nepal has ratified that protect, promote, and fulfill the basic human rights and reproductive health rights in Nepal and also need to review standards and conventions that Nepal has had reservations about or those that have been poorly implemented in the country.

Youth Friendly

Background: The reproductive and sexual health of the youth remains a relatively new and sensitive area mainly due to restrictive norms and policies guiding the services and also the access and utilization of youth friendly reproductive health services (YFRHS) among the college youth are dependent on many factors.Methods: Descriptive cross-sectional design was used to study 421 youths in selected universities in Nairobi County. Systematic sampling technique was used. Data was collected using a researcher-administered structured questionnaire and Key Informant Interview. Quantitative data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 24.0 and involved univariate and bivariate analysis. Chi-square were used to test the significance of the association between the dependent and independent variables (p<0.05). Qualitative data was analyzed by thematic content analysis.Results: The results indicated that 67.9% of youths utilized counselling services, 42.0% utilized VCT, 24.7% utilized family planning and 12.6% reported having used antenatal or pregnancy services. Utilization for all the reproductive health services increased with age with gender greatly associated with utilization of ANC services (p=0.0001), FP services (p=0.001) and STDs treatment (p=0.002) while age of an individual was associated with VCT services (p=0.0001), FP services (p=0.008) and counselling (p=0.007).Conclusions: Socio-demographic factors influence utilization of YFRHS and therefore there is a need for the Government through the Ministry of Health and partners in health service provision to increase the number of YFRHS and ensure that the recommendations of Adolescent Health Policy guidelines are implemented fully with good evaluation strategies in place.

Roe V Wade

Webster v. Reproductive Health Services represented the first occasion in which a state, defending a challenge to its abortion laws, called for the Supreme Court to reconsider Roe v. Wade. This opportunity presented a two-fold challenge to those engaged in seeking the reversal of Roe through the courts. First was to persuade the Court that Roe had been erroneously decided. Second was to overcome the defense of Roe premised upon stare decisis.Two briefs, representing separate groups of Members of Congress and Senators as amici, were filed on behalf of the appellants, each addressed to one of these challenges.

Roe V Wade

With the opening of the new Supreme Court term and three new cases, each with the potential of eroding or overruling Roe v. Wade, discussions of Webster v. Reproductive Health Services, the most anticipated case of the 1989 term, are seemingly out of fashion. But Webster is significant and noteworthy as the first case of this decade which directly presented the high Court an opportunity to overrule Roe, the 1973 landmark case which afforded women the right to make intimate decisions about abortion free of governmental interference. The Court, flooded with amici curiae on both sides of the issue and an avalanche of political activism unparalleled in this decade, left Roe intact, albeit slightly modified. Because there are no longer five solid votes on the Court to uphold Roe, Webster has left its mark on American politics and has radically changed the tenor of the abortion debate for years to come.

Barriers To Health

The phenomenon of children on the streets is currently a severe problem in several cities in Indonesia. Women and children are the most vulnerable groups in the street community during the pandemic. Due to the complexity of people's health problems in street situations that are influenced by social and economic factors, this community service is expected to bridge the barriers to health access, especially reproductive health. This program aims to provide initial health services for people in street situations. Street Posyandu is expected to be a role model for the government and private sectors in dealing with people's health problems in street situations. The Street Posyandu program uses a persuasive approach. The technology used to support the Street Posyandu is the creation of a monitoring system and recording of maternal and child health conditions for street community. Posyandu Jalanan is realized by continuing to prioritize promotive and preventive services without neglecting curative (treatment) and rehabilitative (health restoration) aspects. The specific suggestion to be conveyed in this program is that the stakeholders need to redesign the form of health services aimed at communities in street situations.
