Towards a sexual ethics of rights and responsibilities
Sexual rights as human rights encompass individual freedoms and social entitlements. Both depend for their realisation on equally important social responsibilities on the part of individuals, couples, families, other social institutions, and the State. The principle that all persons must understand their own sexual rights and responsibilities and respect the equal rights of others - particularly those of their sexual partners - informs our interp…

Fertility Regulation and Reproductive Health in the Millennium Development Goals
Although several key elements of sexual and reproductive health are included in the United Nations Millennium Development Goals, a measure of women’s capacity to regulate their fertility safely and effectively is missing. We considered the usefulness of 3 pairs of indicators in monitoring this component of reproductive health: contraceptive prevalence and total fertility; unmet need for contraception and unplanned births; and unsafe abortion and …

The Sexuality Connection in Reproductive Health
Sexuality and power relations based on gender are relevant to researchers, policymakers, and service providers in the reproductive health field, because they underlie virtually all of the behaviors and conditions that their programs address. Yet, a review of conventional treatments in the demographic and family planning literature reveals that, when they consider these topics at all, researchers typically adopt narrow definitions of sexual behavi…

Stalking the Elusive "Unmet Need" for Family Planning
The discourse on unmet need in family planning (FP) emphasizes the need to obtain better conceptualizations based on the experiences of southern hemisphere countries. Unmet need has become a concept important for policy decisions, program strategies, budgeting, and resource allocations. The concept varies with the survey questions, with the definitions, and through the exclusion of factors. Conventional means exclude the needs of those not in con…

Women of the Third World
Innovations in Reproductive Health Care
Although abortion is legally restricted in Bangladesh, early menstrual regulation (MR) as a means of reducing female morbidity and mortality associated with indigenous abortion has been part of the government's health and family planning efforts since 1975. Approximately 3,000 doctors and 2,600 female family planning workers (Family Welfare Visitors) have been trained in techniques of MR in a program intended ultimately to serve rural populations…
Women's Work in Third World Agriculture
This study provides clear guidelines for measuring the contribution of women to agricultural production in developing societies, which should be of interest to those involved in research and development planning. The book looks at four aspects of the sexual division of labour: task specialization and access to production sources, the use of time, workers productivity and returns to labour, and participation in the agricultural labour force. Each …
