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.

Introduction: Poverty and social inequalities together with sexually transmitted diseases have a negative impact on women’s health, which is considered to be a public health problem.Objective: To analyze barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health services in cleaning workers.Materials and methods: A survey was administered to a sample of 37 female cleaning workers at a hospital in Bogotá D.C. A bivariate analysis was performed with chi-square test, as well as a multivariate analysis with binomial logistic regression.Results: Need factors showed greater association with non-use of sexual health services. All married women had accessed the service over the past 12 months, but there were 5.9 less possibilities of using sexual and reproductive health services when there was no awareness about risk behaviors of sexually transmitted diseases.Conclusion: The determining factor for the utilization of sexual health services is the health care need factor. Variables such as perception of risk behaviors and appropriateness of health care significantly influence the use of the service.

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.

ABSTRACTINTRODUCTIONSexual harassment at the workplace in health care is most prevalent in Anglo regions, although is an emerging problem globally. No research has yet focused on the prevalence of the phenomenon within the area of sexual and reproductive health care in Anglo regions. The aim of this study is therefore to measure the prevalence of sexual harassment in sexual and reproductive health care setting and compare it with other clinical areas.METHODA web survey to health care workers of various NHS Trusts in the United Kingdom was carried out and a cross-sectional study was conducted to measure observed counts, expected frequencies and prevalence from a total of 90 questionnaires received.RESULTSThe prevalence of workplace sexual harassment within the sexual and reproductive health services is lower compared to other clinical areas.CONCLUSIONSWorking in sexual and reproductive services could be a protective factor for workplace sexual harassment, therefore this study originates a new line of research aiming to identify the protective factors against sexual harassment at the workplace in sexual and reproductive health and the ways they could be used to protect every health care worker from sexual harassment in the workplace.KEY POINTSThe prevalence of workplace sexual harassment in sexual and reproductive health services is lower compared to other clinical areas.Working in sexual and reproductive services could be a protective factor for workplace sexual harassment.

Female Adolescence

Despite at times having greater needs for sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, adolescents with disabilities often face challenges when trying to access them. This inaccessibility is further exacerbated during female adolescence. The qualitative study examines how SRH services respond to the characteristics of Tanzanian adolescent females with disabilities. We used the method of empathy-based stories to investigate the perceptions of 136 adolescent females with disabilities of their access to SRH services in Tanzania. The study used thematic content analysis and the Levesque model of health care access was applied as an analytical framework. The results demonstrate that discrimination affects access at different phases of care-seeking, that affectionate behaviour of providers is a central enabler of access, and that for this population access relies on a collective effort. We propose that affection, as an enabler of access, is as an additional provider dimension of access to SRH services for adolescents with disabilities, serving as a “reasonable accommodation” to the health care systems in southern contexts and beyond.
