Since the late 1990s approaches to women's reproductive health has
shifted from a service-based model to a human rights approach. This
approach associates reproductive health with freedom from
discrimination and enjoyment of a satisfying and safe sex life, and
full access to information and services related to reproduction. In
spite of this shift, and the global effort to promote women's
reproductive health through the enhancement of human rights and
gender equality, progress has been very slow. In this book the
author fills a much-needed empirical study of women's reproductive
health. The author assesses data from 137 developing countries (or
areas) and challenges the prevailing bioscience and public health
models by linking women's reproductive health to gender equality
measures and development policies. Discussion on abortion rights,
regional variations and reproductive health needs among refugees
and internally displaced persons are also discussed. This is a
timely study which provides a theoretical and social policy basis
for monitoring and improving women's reproductive health in
developing countries. This is particularly important in the light
of insufficient research in the field and a lack of analysis on the
empirical and theoretical linkages between reproductive health and
gender equality. The book will be of interest to researchers,
professionals and students interested in women's health issues,
gender/women's studies and human rights.
