Despite the prominence of international discourses on sexual and reproductive health and rights, much remains to be done to meet both needs and wants of individuals, couples and families. Socioeconomic disparities and geographic differentials, compounded by inappropriate policies besides resource constraints, hbave hampered the achievements of these rights to the extent that, in many jurisdictions, access to quality sexual and reproductive health services continues to be a privilege for some as opposed to a right for all. A rights-based approach, accompanied by appropriate policy formulation and sustained advocacy for resource mobilisation, can promote equity through community acceptance and individual behaviour change.

Introduction. Knowledge and practice toward reproductive health right (RHR) is critical to protect young women, especially school girls, from unwanted reproductive outcomes as improving access to reproductive health services. However, the majority of young people including female secondary school students in Ethiopia have very little knowledge on the youth’s reproductive health rights. The aim of this study was to assess knowledge and practice toward reproductive health right among preparatory female students in Assela Town, Arsi Zone, Ethiopia. Methods. A study was conducted among 403 preparatory school female students in Assela Town. Simple random sampling was employed to select the subjects, and a self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. The collected data were entered using EPI Info version 3.5.4 and exported to SPSS version 21 for analysis. Descriptive and logistic regression analysis was carried out. Result. Sixty percent of girls discussed reproductive issues openly with their peers. About 94% of the respondents knew, at least, one contraceptive method; injectable (91.2%) was the most known type of contraceptives. Marital status, father occupation, discussion on sexual and reproductive issues, and having sexual partners were affecting the practice of reproductive health rights. Conclusions. Knowledge of the students was moderate on reproductive health right which was 70%. Practice of sexual and reproductive health rights was 22.6% among the study participants. It is recommended that promotion on sexual and reproductive health right through media is important.

Full textAbstract:
This article examines reproductive health as an important component of physical and mental well-being in modern society. It focuses on a wide range of services and information covering sexual and reproductive health, contraception, family planning, STD treatment, pregnancy and childbirth. It is indicated that the effectiveness of reproductive health protection is supported by international norms, including the Sustainable Development Goals No. 3, and is based on the principles of dignity, equality and the right to free choice. It is emphasized that reproductive health is a fundamental human right, which is directly related to the right to life and health. Research in this area helps to clarify the effectiveness of legal norms and protection measures, the article also highlights the problem of discrimination, particularly on the basis of gender, in the context of reproductive health, and emphasizes the importance of combating this inequality. In addition, the article points to the importance of access to information about reproductive health as a key aspect of human rights that contributes to public education and awareness. The article also considers the complex nature of the right to reproduction, which includes biological, legal, ethical and social aspects that interact with each other and require a careful balance between human rights, ethical principles and social needs. It is motivated that the right to reproduction implies the right of each individual to make free choices regarding sexual behavior, family planning and access to quality reproductive health services, but the realization of these rights may face ethical and moral dilemmas, as well as different approaches to legal regulation in different countries. Also important is the social aspect, which includes the availability and quality of reproductive health services, as well as taking into account socio-cultural norms and values. It was found that all these aspects require a careful balance between human rights, ethical principles and social needs, in order to ensure adequate protection and support of the reproductive health of each person.

This paper has been published in Peer-reviewed International Journal "Innovation The Research Concept" URL : https://www.socialresearchfoundation.com/new/publish-journal.php?editID=8959 Publisher : Social Research Foundation, Kanpur (SRF International) Abstract : This research investigates the relationship between domestic abuse and women's sexual and reproductive health across their lifetime. Existing research indicates a strong link between domestic violence and the poor health and well-being of not just the women themselves, but also the children they have and are expected by social conventions to care for. Indeed, violence against women has serious demographic effects, such as lower educational achievement and earning potential for younger generations. Around 730 million women worldwide report having ever been the victim of gender-based violence; those who live in low and lower-middle income nations are disproportionately afflicted. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are now widely acknowledged as human rights worldwide. However, this transition occurred as part of broader social and political upheavals. Following the publishing of the 1975 statement, academics identified four distinct stages in the adoption of SRHR as human rights. Due to increased stress from loss of livelihood, disruption of social and protective networks, and restricted movement, the COVID19 epidemic has only made violence against women by intimate partners more common in the last two years. The health of women and the children they give birth to and raise is immediately impacted by violence. This study investigates the causal association between domestic violence and women's sexual and reproductive health. Reproductive rights encompass the legal right to contraception, abortion, fertility treatment, reproductive health, and access to information about one's reproductive organs. Reproductive rights ensure that people have the choice to choose whether or not to reproduce. Reproductive geographies, which depart from a feminist understanding of the reproductive body as the most intimate location for/of political struggle, are a relatively recent field within human geography. Reproduction used to be a common issue in quantitative population geography. More modern spatial work on reproduction, on the other hand, draws on feminist, Black, postcolonial, and critical theories to confront the unequal geographies of access to reproductive health and justice spaces. Reproductive geography research is increasingly using an intersectional lens to investigate how reproductive rights.

Full textAbstract:
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.

Full textAbstract:
Adolescents are not yet aware of the importance of maintaining sexual and reproductive health, while teenagers are very vulnerable to various problems related to sexual and reproductive health. So far, programs to improve reproductive health and prevent sexual violence have been mostly directed at women. As a result, issues of reproductive health, gender, sexual violence, maternal and child health and family planning are often considered women's affairs. This situation makes men isolated from reproductive health issues and sexual violence. On the other hand, achieving gender justice and equality, fulfilling reproductive health rights and the right to be free from sexual violence against women is progressing slowly without the involvement of men as part of the issue itself. Method The first activity carried out is training and coaching of cadres and health workers which will be carried out over 2 meetings, followed by REMAKI DISCO with participants from the Jabon Village Youth Organization, Kec.

There is a fairly good understanding of reproductive health behavior and prevention of sexual violence among male adolescents in the village of Jabon sub-district. Mojoanyar District. Mojokerto. The role of village government, cadres and health workers as well as facilitators in DISKO REMAKI is expected to be able to provide the support needed for adolescent boys to be able to maintain healthy reproductive behavior and prevent sexual violence in their environment.

At the outpatient clinic of Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, perceptions and practices of 1000 women regarding their reproductive health rights [reproductive rights] were evaluated. The majority had positive perceptions about their rights to reproductive health; however, 30% disagreed with prohibitions of discrimination against women, particularly prohibitions of female genital mutilation [FGM]. A significant association was found between perceptions of sexual rights and demographic characteristics and between education and practices regarding early detection of cancer. No significant association was found between education and concepts of adolescent health education as a reproductive right. Programmes about women’s reproductive rights that emphasize the issue of sexual health through religious education are recommended as one of the best strategies for the eradication of FGM

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThis article explores the issue of conscientious objection invoked by health professionals in the reproductive and sexual health care context and its impact on women's ability to access health services. The right to exercise conscientious objection has been recognized by many international and European scholars as being derived from the right to freedom of thought, conscience and religion. It is not, however, an absolute right. When the exercise of conscientious objection conflicts with other human rights and fundamental freedoms, a balance must be struck between the right to conscientious objection and other affected rights such as the right to respect for private life, the right to equality and non-discrimination, and the right to receive and impart information. Particularly in the reproductive health care context, states that allow health professionals to exercise conscientious objection must accommodate this in such a way that its exercise does not compromise women's access to health services. This article analyses the European Court of Human Rights' decision on admissibility in Pichon and Sajous v. France (2001) and argues that a balancing approach should be applied in cases of conscientious objection in the sexual and reproductive health care context.

Full textAbstract:
The prospect of achieving sustainable reproductive rights protection in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in Nigeria has remained an intractable problem. To identify and recognize reproductive rights, it is necessary to comprehend that reproductive right embraces certain human rights recognized in national and international laws, including international human rights’ documents. This paper examines the existing Nigeria laws on reproductive and health rights and ascertains the extent to which it has continually and predictably addressed the reproductive rights protection problem. There is a significant protection gap in the national human rights architecture. At the international level, among the poorer adolescent girls between the age of 15-19 years, it frequently results in early pregnancy and, of course, unsafe abortion. Thus, this gap relates in particular to questions on lack of access to family planning services. This paper argues that improvement of reproductive and sexual health goes far beyond the right to life and the right to health of women and girls. To guarantee Nigeria's reproductive rights, a more integral response to these critical human rights and development challenges can address Nigeria's protection gap. This paper adopts an analytical and qualitative approach by referring to existing pieces of literature achieved by the synthesis of ideas. This paper concludes that the adoption of a new approach to policies and programs on preventable maternal mortality and morbidity guarantees the right to attain the highest standard of sexual reproductive health in Nigeria.

Human rights law stipulates that women must be free to decide when to be pregnant, how many children to have, and how to space pregnancies. Laws and policies that deny women and girls their sexual and reproductive health rights are inherently discriminatory. States should respect the capacity of women and girls for autonomous decision-making and not limit the access to contraceptives to the obtention of the authorisation of husbands, partners or parents of girls . The right of women to exercise their reproductive choice is implicitly protected as the fundamental right under the Indian Constitution. Indian courts play a crucial role in preventing and addressing the ongoing violation of these women rights. Women always possess particular rights which shouldn’t be denied at any cause. One such right is her right to exercise her reproductive choice. All of us have a right to body autonomy, which means we should be able to make decisions about our bodies on our own. In our society, women and girls are often denied reproductive choices. It is not only immoral and discriminatory, but it also infringes on their basic human rights, including the right to life and dignity. It adds to disparity and violence. The right of reproductive choices is a basic fundamental right that should be granted to all without question and with dignity. With the passage of time, tremendous progress in implementing reproductive health has been made. There is still a long way to go in fully acknowledging reproductive rights. The ultimate purpose of the right to reproduction is the individual's well-being and thus everyone should be able to freely exercise their reproductive choice. Not only will better approach to reproductive health assist women, but it will also benefit society as a whole. Men, particularly spouses, must come out in support, accept their wives consent, and participate equally in the decision-making process. The government must ensure proper reproductive health as well as reproductive information and education to safeguard the individual’s rights and promote wellbeing and a healthy lifestyle. This will, in turn, benefit the country’s growth and development.

Around the world, the right to health and especially reproductive health right are far from a reality for many women. Reproductive health is of growing concern today. Reproductive health therefore implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sexual life and that they have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how after to do so. Reproduction is a dual commitment but so after in much of the world, it is seen as wholly the women’s responsibility. There are four major problems commonly encountered by women in family planning and contraceptive use: accessibility to family planning information and services, quality of services, gender responsibilities and spousal communication. These problems become major obstacles preventing women from regularity fertility or exercising the reproductive rights. The importance of good health and education to women’s well being and that of her family and society cannot be overstated. Spousal Communication is crucial step toward increasing women’s participation in improving their health rights. Therefore the study was conducted to investigate the perception of married women about the role of spousal communication in establishing reproductive health security. For this purpose 200 married women of age group 15-45 with having at least one living child were selected through multistage sampling technique from urban areas of district Faisalabad. The study explored in bi-variate analysis that those women who were educated, younger and had a high economic status had a perception that the spousal communication plays a significant role in the development of women’s attitude towards their reproductive health security.

Full textAbstract:
In a legal and social context, the reproduction right is a problem of power relations and society, particularly laws. Women usually remain silent since they lack power. Not because of their personalities, but due to the influence of politics, economics, and society. Their interactions with men, their families, their friends, and society are all crucial. Gender-based laws are the result of communal attitudes toward women, gender, and sex. This results in a variety of forms of violence during implementation. The study adopts a description-based approach, and the analysis of how norms are applied to positive laws is the main research objective. Normative juridical research is well-versed in this approach. In order to develop the idea of gender equity, the study examines how human rights are applied and whether they are acceptable for women's reproductive rights based on gender. Additionally, the statuary approach, conceptual approach, and comparative technique are used in this type of research. These methods are used to identify problems and possible solutions. The results of the study indicate that when it comes to the safety or health of their reproductive systems, women have a special right to protection at work and in their professions Gender inequality is a cause of violations of women's human rights. Gender discrimination and violence against women in Indonesia are still pervasive.

Full textAbstract:
Women’s sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) are linked to numerous human rights; health, education, freedom from torture, protection from all forms of discrimination, and right of privacy. SRHR refers to a set of rights that every human being is entitled to, regardless of culture, race, religion, ethnicity, or disability. Women’s sexual and reproductive health rights have been taken for granted, especially in Tanzania’s health policies. However, Tanzania has several National Policies and Laws that affect women and men differently and in certain areas, they even contradict other existing laws. The prolonged poor SRHR shows the urgency of the reformation of the policies and laws. The analysis was carried out qualitatively through a reflection focused on the policy and other legal materials concerned. The study revealed that the policy does not cater enough for women’s SRHR. This study concludes that the policies are outdated and have a lot of loopholes. This has led the sexual and reproductive health system in Tanzania astray. The study concludes that the TNHP 2017 has to be reviewed and revised in order to meet the women’s SRHR and also to align it with some of the international policies and targets concerning sexual and reproductive health.

ObjectivesAlthough family planning in China has changed gradually since 1994, there are few studies about family planning and women’s reproductive rights. The main objective of this study was to examine awareness of sexual and reproductive healthcare rights (SRHCRs), and learn how factors related to family planning influence awareness of SRHCRs among married women of reproductive age in China.Methods and participantsInner Mongolia, Chongqing, Guangdong and Henan were selected for the study, and a total of 2504 married women of reproductive age were recruited. A self-administered anonymous questionnaire was used to collect information on participants’ awareness of SRHCRs.ResultsThere were a total of 10 843 (≤6×2504) responses, with a response rate of 72.17% (10 843/15 024) on average among participants regarding SRHCRs (a multiple response set). The highest response rate was for choice (Right 3) (90.64%, 95% CI 89.47%, 91.81%), followed by privacy (Right 5) (86.11%, 95% CI 84.72%, 87.50%) and information (Right 1) (84.47%, 95% CI 83.02%, 85.93%). Only 43.39% (95% CI 41.40%, 45.38%) of participants gave responses to safety (Right 4). Participants without children showed more interest in Right 1, in access (Right 2) and in Right 4. Those who utilised tests for fetal sex determination paid more attention to Rights 2 and 4. Women who accepted informed choice were more likely to be aware of all six rights except for Right 3 and dignity (Right 6). Those individuals who were satisfied or very satisfied with comprehensive sexual and reproductive health counselling services were more likely to show interest in all six rights.ConclusionsAwareness of SRHCRs among reproductive aged women in China is still inadequate. Family planning service providers might strengthen the service awareness of sex and reproductive health rights according to the different needs of women.

Full textAbstract:
Early menarche in adolescent girls has an effect on how quickly they come into contact with sexual life. This may have an impact on the increased incidence of unintended pregnancy, increased childbirth and abortion in adolescents. The condition of adolescents who are too young at menarche and poor reproductive health status will create problems with their menstruation, especially when the right sources of reproductive health information are not fully utilized. The aim of this scoping review is to interpret the effects of early menarche on sexual and reproductive health. The Scoping Review method was carried out using the following steps; 1) identifying research questions; 2) identifying relevant studies, through the Pubmed, Ebsco, and Wiley databases. In the search for articles, the keywords used are Effect OR Outcomes AND Menarche OR Menstruation OR Menstrua * OR menses OR "Early Menarche" AND "Reproductive Health" OR sexual reproduction * AND sexual behavior * OR "sexual debut" OR "Sexual Partners OR" unsafe sex "OR" unprotected sex ". The article criteria used are articles published from 2009 to 2019 and discussing the effects of early menarche on sexual and reproductive health; 3) the selection of articles was described using the Prisma Flow Chart where in full text search results, 18 articles were obtained and 9 articles was used for the review as these have quality assessment and according to population, methods, and results; 4) carrying out data charting; and 5) carrying out the compilation of results reports. The nine articles used as review materials discussed sexual health and early sexual reproduction in 101 respondents (21%) among sexually active students, 15 out of 89 students (16.9%) had low use of contraception, diseases of sexual health and reproduction (herpes simplex type-2, that is, women aged 14 who have experienced menarche have had sexual intercourse, HIV, which is 5.6% positive, as well as factors that affect sexual and reproductive health (45% education, 81.4% knowledge, economy due to low income, 60% sexual desire at the age of 14 years and only 11% who have not been sexually active at the age of 17 years). Early menarche and high sexual desire are health problems that have serious implications for adolescents. Provision of appropriate information and education on sexual and reproductive health for adolescents is urgently needed. It is hoped that the findings from the articles that have been reviewed can contribute to the importance of providing sex education from an early age.

There have been advances in Latin America regarding the recognition of sexual and reproductive rights, especially in relation to disadvantaged groups such as women and LGBTI persons. In this sense, it is relevant to mention the recognition by the Inter-American System of the right to health as a true right. Nevertheless, there are still many challenges to be faced. In this paper, I will review the progress and challenges of the Inter American Court of Human Right in sexual and reproductive health rights, looking to offer a panoramic overview from a global south perspective by analyzing specific cases. I will then highlight some achievements and setbacks in this area, focus on the impact of these cases in the region and criticize some of the Court's limited responses.

Reproductive rights reference to related human rights and freedoms goes to a basic right - the right to life and the continuation of the human race. They are based on the recognition of the fundamental rights of individuals and couples who independently decide the number, time intervals and possible ways of having children. Reproductive rights involve making procreative decisions in a non-discriminatory manner without interference from society, the state or any other subjects. The evolution of reproductive rights shows that at the initial stage of development it was important to identify and specify the scope and content of the basic right related to the parents' decision regarding the planned number of children and the time intervals between their births. This is a fundamental right that relates to making a decision about one's own fertility, so such rights can be defined as paternity and maternity rights.
 Reproductive rights can also be perceived as a special type of freedom associated with the possibility of self-determination and the right of a given person to control all aspects of his/her health. For this reason, it is important to ensure the implementation of reproductive rights without violence and coercion. In this context, the state needs to create the national mechanisms to effectively combat forms of sexual violence, including domestic violence, sexual exploitation of women and girls, sexual slavery and exploitation, forced prostitution and sexual harassment, trafficking in women and children. Violence should not be justified by moral, cultural or religious considerations. Reproductive decisions should be made without discrimination. The possibility of free exercise of reproductive rights is especially important for women for the growth of their role in the economic and political life of society and the state. In this regard, a woman's ability to independently make decisions regarding the disposal of her own body, the birth of children or not is evaluated as a basis for the exercise of other rights by women.

Background/Aims Reproductive health is an important part of a woman's general health and wellbeing. Being aware of one's sexual and reproductive health rights enables women to make informed decisions about and improve their sexual and reproductive health. This study assessed women's awareness of sexual and reproductive health rights and the use of sexual and reproductive health services in Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Methods A descriptive cross-sectional design was used for this study. Stratified random sampling was used to select 341 women of reproductive age in Ile-Ife. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics, with P<0.05 indicating significance. Results The majority (89.7%) of respondents had high awareness of sexual and reproductive health rights but reported poor use of sexual and reproductive health services (58.7%). The participants' age, marital status, occupation and distance to sexual and reproductive health facilities significantly influenced the uptake of sexual and reproductive health services. Conclusions Women in Ile-Ife were aware of their sexual and reproductive health rights but did not use sexual and reproductive health services. There is a need for health education to improve women's self-efficacy to use these services.

Full textAbstract:
The principle of equality is the foundation of developing an entire system of human rights, and its implementation represents the standard of respecting each right individually. With these premises as a starting point, the subject of the author?s interests is whether the right to assisted reproduction, as a segment of reproductive rights, is regulated in conformity with the equality principal. In order to reach an answer, the author examines the concept of human assisted reproduction and analyzes the application of reproductive technologies in the light of legal, social and political reforms which affected marriages, the family and partnership in general at the end of the 20th century. The author finds that the most significant ones among them are the emancipation of women, recognition and legal formation of same sex unions and statements prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation. Furthermore, by considering the right to assisted reproduction in the context of other human rights with which it is interconnected and interdependent (the right to life, right to privacy, the right to a family life, health rights, children?s rights), the author finds there are no absolute, unlimited rights in the contemporary system of human rights, but that they inevitably have certain restrictions. Since the same limitation attribute also characterizes the right to assisted reproduction, the author further researches whether there is discrimination, positive or negative, towards the existing forms of limitations to this right. The following forms of limitations have been singled out, as the key ones for this analysis: request for (non)marital status and heterosexual orientation, sexual affiliation and age and the accessibility (prohibition) of applying certain methods of assisted reproduction which are primarily in the function of eliminating female sterility. The author concludes that there are elements of discrimination based on family status, sexual orientation, age and sexual affiliation. The author finds that emphasizing the need to protect the best interests of children, as a crucial reason for justifying their introduction, can hardly be defended both legally and ethically. The author believes that the basis of limitation lies in the reasons of social suitability, namely buying social peace at the present level of development of social conscience. By appealing to the principal of equality, the author intercedes in favor of accessibility to the right for assisted reproduction under equal conditions and limitations for each user, and prohibiting discrimination on any basis.

Sexual and Reproductive health rights are key human rights instruments. Since last few decades, sexual and reproductive health and rights has been recognized as a major topic in the international health and development agenda. Sexual and reproductive rights of women became recognized as universal human rights in 1994, violations of which happen in some reproductive health areas including gender concern. But in the developing countries like ours, patriarchal society rooted deeply that male control over women's mobility, sexuality and reproduction. Men’s control over women’s mobility like imposition of Parda, restriction on leaving domestic space, strict separation of public and private space and limits on interaction between the sexes. Male controls over women’s sexuality like women are obliged to provide sexual services to their men when they desire, the legal and moral values restrict women’s sexuality outside marriage, men may force their women in sex trade. Even in reproduction male control over them. Men also control over women’s reproductive power in many societies by no freedom to decide how many children they want and when, cannot decide to use the contraceptive or terminate the pregnancy. In most of the South Asian countries women are forced to give birth to a son or her place is not secured so she is compelled to give several births if she cannot produce son. Sexual and reproductive health and rights are important rights in themselves, but can also greatly enhance possibilities for empowering girls and women and for achieving gender equality. Reproductive health stresses people rights to sexuality, reproduction, and family planning, and the information to actualize these rights, which has been inseparably linked to development. We examine how sexual and reproductive health and rights interventions can have positive and lasting impacts not only on the health outcomes of girls and women, but can also enable women’s access to opportunities across social, economic and political life. Many efforts had been done in these issues nationally and internationally.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Political and legal theories of animal rights tend to raise the issue of domesticated animals’ sexuality and reproduction as a matter of population management and therefore concentrate too narrowly on providing justification for fertility restrictions. In this article, I argue that the normative logic underpinning the historical evolution and conceptual development of the fundamental right to health in international law, in its paradigm shift from population control to health rights, is consistent with initiating a similar transition in the domesticated animal case. Without the relevant legal rights protections in place, individual interests in having control over, and making decisions about, their sexuality and reproduction get subordinated to the imperative of achieving sustainable population goals, resulting in the violation of bodily integrity and self-determination. What is missing from the present discussion of domesticated animals’ sexuality and reproduction is a rights-based discourse. I seek to address this gap in the literature by drawing on the existing human rights law norms to develop a conception of sexual and reproductive rights for domesticated animals as a shared yet differentiated fundamental right to health. I show that the realization of this right for domesticated animals is conditional upon a set of freedoms and entitlements, such as the freedom of choice, association, and mobility, as well as access to a range of health facilities, goods, and services. The aim is to introduce a new way of thinking about domesticated animals’ sexuality and reproduction as a rights and agency issue not just a population and fertility control dilemma.

Sexual and reproductive health and rights have increasingly been recognized in the international arena, but their evolution and the definition of their scope and content have not been received without controversy. From population control to human rights, from demographers’ competence to governmental prerogative, from couples’ rights to universal rights, this article will present an overview of the evolution of sexual and reproductive rights in the international arena. The development of these rights cannot be read in isolation but must be analyzed together with the broader landscape that hosts social and political movements, ideologies, religions, and revolutions. Understanding sexual and reproductive health and rights as historical creations, rather than timeless givens, enables us to devise historically informed instruments and policies that are more likely to succeed. This article contributes to the scholarly literature by providing an overview of past trends and of the conditions under which they occurred. Retracing the history of these rights enables us to clarify the scope of the state’s obligations to realize the right to sexual and reproductive health, to improve monitoring opportunities, and to ensure accountability for violations. This article explores these (and forthcoming) developments contributing to identify the existing obligations, the relevant actors, and the challenges that lie ahead.

Full textAbstract:
Although sexuality, reproductive health, and starting a family are human rights that should be guaranteed for all citizens, they are still taboo issues for people with intellectual disability (ID), and even more so for women with ID. This paper systematically reviews the current qualitative and quantitative evidence on the rights of people with ID in regard to Articles 23 (right to home and family) and 25 (health, specifically sexual and reproductive health) of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). A systematic review of the current literature, following PRISMA 2020, was carried out in ERIC, PsychInfo, Scopus, PubMed, ProQuest, and Web of Science. In all, 151 articles were included for review. The studies were categorized into six themes: attitudes, intimate relationships, sexual and reproductive health, sexuality and sex education, pregnancy, and parenthood. There are still many barriers that prevent people with ID from fully exercising their right to sexuality, reproductive health, and parenthood, most notably communicative and attitudinal barriers. These findings underline the need to continue advancing the rights of people with ID, relying on Schalock and Verdurgo’s eight-dimensional quality of life model as the ideal conceptual framework for translating such abstract concepts into practice and policy.

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.

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights at the United Nations and Their Doctrinal Background Summary The concept of sexual and reproductive health and rights still remains unclear in the international law regime. Despite the fact that during the United Nations International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo (1994), all UN Member States agreed that the term sexual and reproductive health and rights does not contain the “right to abortion,” one can observe continuous attempts to renegotiate the established consensus. The discussion on SRHR is exerting a great impact on the policy of international organizations and therefore it has a potential to create obligations on their Member States. The aim of this article is to present the history of the concept of “sexual and reproductive health and rights” and to analyze it in two aspects. First, the article elaborates on the doctrinal and ideological connotations of SRHR construction. It shows how the SRHR construction derives from feminist theories that regard the spheres of procreation and sexuality as the main sources of inequality between men and women. Second, the article shows how feminist concepts of human sexuality have influenced and shaped the legal constructions of international treaties under the UN auspices.

Full textAbstract:
Complete access to sexual and reproductive health is a fundamental human right. Women and girls all across the world, particularly those living in poverty, have little or no access to reproductive health and rights information and services. Discrimination, shame, restrictive laws and regulations, and long-held traditions are just a few of the barriers to sexual and reproductive health that exist. Despite evidence that these rights may affect not only individual women but also families, communities, and national economies, progress has been slow. Women's lifestyles have evolved throughout history. In the past, most women's lives were challenging. Many ladies were having unintended pregnancies. Childbirth used to be dangerous, and it often resulted in the mother's death. Because they didn't live long enough, most women didn't have to deal with menopause or old age in the past. Reproductive health is an important aspect of a person's entire development and well-being. It could be the result of a positive upbringing, which is critical during adolescence and sets the tone for excellent health throughout adulthood and beyond reproductive years for both men and women. A woman's reproductive life span does not begin at puberty and end at menopause, and a man's reproductive life span does not stop when he is no longer likely to bear children. It is present and vital at all stages of a person's development and maturation. Reproductive health needs may vary depending on one's age and stage of life. However, there is a long term effect over the course of one's life, and each stage has significant ramifications for one's future well-being.

It has been established that the right to free choice regarding reproduction derives from the constitutional right to personal freedom and inviolability of the person. Reproductive rights are an integral part of human rights and occupy an important place in global discussions about gender equality, women’s health and social development. These rights are recognized as an important aspect of the dignified life of every person and a key condition for the establishment of gender-equal societies. Reproductive rights also include the right to access sexual and reproductive health information and services.
 It was noted that the principle of non-discrimination is fundamental in modern human rights standards. According to this principle, all people have the same rights and freedoms, regardless of the way they were born. That is, the cloned person must have the same rights that are guaranteed to other people. One of the basic human rights is the right to one’s own name and identity, so the cloned person should also have the right to one’s own name and personal identity. Approaches to cloning and attitudes towards cloned individuals may change with the development of science and technology. It is important to consider the rights of cloned persons in the context of modern realities and standards. Therefore, taking into account the stated reasons, we believe that cloned persons should have rights similar to the rights of other people, and we do not support the thesis of limiting their rights.
 It is emphasized that gender stereotypes and sociocultural norms affect the perception and implementation of reproductive rights in different ways, and this is a key problem in ensuring equal opportunities for all population groups. Thus, sociocultural norms can also limit access to information about reproductive health and reproductive control methods. Individuals may not be able to learn about available options and services due to stereotypes or cultural limitations. Also, gender stereotypes can create psychological pressure on persons who go beyond the generally accepted norms in matters of reproduction.
 It has been determined that combating gender stereotypes and cultural limitations is a key condition for ensuring respect for reproductive rights and their realization for all. It is important to create an environment where each person has the opportunity to make reproductive decisions based on their own beliefs and needs, regardless of gender stereotypes and cultural norms.

As the basis for the continued existence of the human race, sexuality is a crucial aspect of human life. If this special aspect of human life is disturbed, it can hurt one's self-confidence and self-esteem and negatively impact social and marital relationships. Given the significance of sexuality, sexual and reproductive health is regarded as a fundamental human right and a crucial element of general health. However, sexual and reproductive health issues appear to be very common in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, particularly among women on hemodialysis. The common sexual and reproductive health issues identified among women in literature are hypoactive sexual desire, pain, infertility, menstrual disturbances. These issues impact their marital lives and quality of life. Regardless of the fact that women undergoing hemodialysis face numerous challenges, healthcare professionals often overlook this important aspect of their lives and they are not counselled about the maintenance of their sexual and reproductive health. In Pakistan, there is dearth of literature exploring sexual and reproductive health issues of women undergoing hemodialysis so there is a need to investigate this area of concern.

This study aimed to review the definitions of reproductive health rights, investigate reproductive health status, and suggest policy strategies to promote reproductive health in Korea. Current laws, the Constitution of the World Health Organization, works from Guttmacher-Lancet Commission on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, the Program of Action of the International Conference on Population Development, the Nairobi Statement on ICPD25, and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination Against Women were reviewed to define reproductive health rights. The reproductive health status focusing on high-risk pregnancy was analyzed. Definitions of reproductive health rights include the right of every person to have lifetime access to the information, resources, services, and support needed to achieve bodily integrity, privacy and personal autonomy regarding their reproductive health. Most indices of reproductive health in Korea analyzed here are and would remain negative. Reproductive health should be approached from the perspectives of rights. We should continuously monitor the indicators of reproductive health and policies corresponding to low fertility rates in Korea should focus on improving women’s reproductive health. This suggests support for obstetrics and gynecology check-ups and treatments before pregnancy and postpartum care, the provision of education on the importance of prepregnancy health care for men and women and comprehensive information and counseling services. It is also necessary to establish a delivery infrastructure for safe pregnancy and childbirth and unify governmental ministries related to pregnancy and childbirth.

The article presents a comprehensive analysis of legal relations in the field of human reproductive activity by studying international and national legal regulation and changes in legal standards caused by the coronavirus crisis. Genesis of the legal regulation of human rights to reproduction has been studied and axiological and value determinants of legal relations in the field of reproductive activity have been determined. Current international standards are positioned as legal standards that affect the ability to determine the number of children, the intervals between their births, the provision of reproductive and sexual health, as well as the relationship regarding the preservation of their own genetic material. It is motivated that international norms establish the autonomy of women for the right to perform abortion in particular and the right to individual determination of human reproductive function in general. In particular, it is substantiated that despite considerable scientific advances, especially in the molecular sphere, reproductive activity as a system requires multidimensional study, including its spatial and temporal definition. In addition, issues related to research in the field of stem cell biology, microfluidics, integration of unicellular transcriptomics, etc. are relevant today, which will help to determine the normal and healthy functioning of human reproductive function. In particular, it will allow studying external impacts and diseases, including endocrine disorders in the body and aging. The national legal norms concerning the right to abortion and other rights in this field are studied. The article is based on the materials of a survey based on author’s questionnaires conducted to determine the level of realization of their reproductive rights by Ukrainian citizens during the pandemic caused by COVID-19. It is proved that the legal policy of states on reproductive rights during pandemic threats has transformed the possibility of free exercise of reproductive law. Today there is a problem of access to reproductive procedures, in particular due to their postponement indefinitely as non-priority, due to the inaccessibility of health authorities, social distance and the ban on crossing the state border, requirement for testing.

Access to youth-friendly services is critical to ensuring Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) and the psychological well-being of adolescents. This qualitative study explored the innovative teaching approaches to adolescents’ sexual and reproductive health and rights education during the COVID-19 pandemic in the Oluno circuit. A sample of 10 Life Skills teachers was purposively selected and individual face to face interviews were conducted. Data was analysed using a thematic approach. The findings revealed that the radio, WhatsApp, recorded audios and handouts were used to engage learners on sexual reproductive health information when schools were closed. It is further established that WhatsApp and the radio were the mainly used methods because they were appropriate and user friendly. The findings also indicate contradictions in the Life Skills teachers’ experiences on the use of social media approaches due to poor internet connectivity in remote areas. The study suggested the provision of free data to learners and teachers to enable the timely teaching and learning of the right and age-appropriate Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights information (SRHR).That underscores the urgent need for schools to adopt modern learning to be proactive in training of both teachers and learners on the use of various technological devices in case another pandemic hits the country in the future.

Sexual and Reproductive Health and Right (SRHR), as it affects women, has continued to be a topical issue in Nigeria. In many cases, Nigerian women and girls are exposed to a number of factors that have created an inconducive atmosphere for ensuring that their sexual and reproductive rights are protected and guaranteed. Issues such as early marriage, poverty, maternal mortality, rape, lack of access to SRHR services and information, continue to prevent these individuals from fully exercising their fundamental rights. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts from various stakeholders, including the government, civil society organizations, healthcare providers, and communities. Policies and programs aimed at promoting gender equality, ending child marriage, and preventing gender-based violence are crucial for safeguarding women and girls' SRHR. Improving access to SRH services, including education and information, and ensuring the availability of skilled healthcare providers are essential steps towards empowering women and girls to exercise their SRHR. Furthermore, community engagement and awareness-raising initiatives are essential for challenging harmful social norms and promoting positive attitudes towards women's rights and sexuality. By addressing the multifaceted barriers to SRHR in Nigeria, a more conducive environment can be created where women and girls can fully realize their sexual and reproductive health rights, leading to improved health outcomes and overall well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Sexual and Reproductive Health and Right (SRHR), as it affects women, has continued to be a topical issue in Nigeria. In many cases, Nigerian women and girls are exposed to a number of factors that have created an inconducive atmosphere for ensuring that their sexual and reproductive rights are protected and guaranteed. Issues such as early marriage, poverty, maternal mortality, rape, lack of access to SRHR services and information, continue to prevent these individuals from fully exercising their fundamental rights. Addressing these challenges requires concerted efforts from various stakeholders, including the government, civil society organizations, healthcare providers, and communities. Policies and programs aimed at promoting gender equality, ending child marriage, and preventing gender-based violence are crucial for safeguarding women and girls' SRHR. Improving access to SRH services, including education and information, and ensuring the availability of skilled healthcare providers are essential steps towards empowering women and girls to exercise their SRHR. Furthermore, community engagement and awareness-raising initiatives are essential for challenging harmful social norms and promoting positive attitudes towards women's rights and sexuality. By addressing the multifaceted barriers to SRHR in Nigeria, a more conducive environment can be created where women and girls can fully realize their sexual and reproductive health rights, leading to improved health outcomes and overall well-being.

Full textAbstract:
This article presents intersectional and interdisciplinary approaches to gynecological- obstetric violence in Mexico. It includes a historical and philosophical analysis of the hegemonic model of motherhood, its implications on the lives of racialized women, and violent gynecological-obstetric care in the public health system. The origins of the motherhood model between the 17th and 19th centuries are explored, alongside its repercussions in contemporary society. The article also critiques public health policies implemented at the beginning of the 20th century, influenced by the eugenics movement, and examines their relationship with the current public health system, which has normalized forced contraception targeting racialized, working-class, peasant, impoverished and/or migrant women, as well as the violation of their human rights in delivery rooms. Furthermore, a critique is made of in Mexico’s fragmented and inefficient health system, particularly in providing medical care to women in areas such as sexual and reproductive health, cervical cancer, breast cancer, gynecological-obstetric violence, and forced contraception. Finally, it concludes with reflections on the need for an anti-racist and anti-patriarchal perspective regarding the guarantee of the right to health, the right to care, sexual and reproductive rights, and, more broadly, human rights for racialized women.

Full textAbstract:
This article provides an analysis of the discourse of the Pentecostal leadership in Brazil with respect to the idea of human rights, which has served as a point of reference for collective actions on the part of civil society and in the design of public policy, ranging from the economy to public health, sexual education and social welfare. In particular, this article examines controversies surrounding the inclusion of sexual and reproductive rights on the list of human rights in the last decades of the twentieth century, and shows that, despite multiple interpretations within Pentecostalism, the current dominant account in Brazil privileges the right to freedom of expression and belief, and not the acceptance of proposals from social movements, namely, that reproductive and sexual questions should be addressed within the framework of human 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.

Full textAbstract:
Law stipulates that persons with disabilities have the right to receive health information and health protection as human beings. The City of Padang already has Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2015 concerning the equality of health rights for persons with disabilities. However, the implementation of this regional regulation is not clear in terms of fulfilling and protecting reproductive health rights for persons with disabilities. One effort that can be done is to conduct education at Special Schools (SLB) in the city of Padang so that SLB students have complex knowledge about reproductive health so that they can grow into reproductively healthy humans and avoid risky sexual behavior. SLB in Padang City with the highest number of students is Perwari Padang SLB. The problem found is that some students like to watch pornographic videos, date and even get pregnant out of wedlock. The activity method consists of preparation, implementation planning and evaluation. The activities carried out are in the form of training for teachers, educating students, providing media and visual aids. The activities carried out are in accordance with the target and are proven by an increase in the knowledge of teachers and students with disabilities about reproductive health. It is hoped that in the future there will be an increase in the quantity and quality as well as the development of reproductive health education activities for students with disabilities, so that all students with disabilities can be exposed to reproductive health information.
