Advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights in low- and middle-income countries
The papers and commentaries in this special issue illuminate progress made by low- and middle-income countries towards implementation of the Programme of Action (PoA) agreed by 179 countries during the International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in 1994. The PoA presents a path-breaking sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) framework for global and national population and health policies. While progress towards impl…
Commentary
The ICPD Programme of Action and many intergovernmental agreements since have agreed that all adolescents, in and out of school, have a right to and must have access to comprehensive sexuality education (CSE).This CSE must include not only human biology and HIV, but must also address puberty, sexuality, where and how to access sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including referral when needed, and skills development for relationships b…
Ensuring the complementarity of country ownership and accountability for results in relation to donor aid
ID allocations by donor countries to sexual and reproductive health and rights and the values that underlie that aid are a timely and important topic. In general, data about such funding are weak and the field would benefit significantly from better and more comprehensive data on what the funds are earmarked for and how they are used. In the absence of such data, it is extremely difficult to address the issue objectively. This paper is a response…
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 …
Reproductive Health and the MDGs
Thinking Beyond ICPD+10
In this roundtable discussion, three long-time international activists in the field of reproductive and sexual rights discuss the challenges facing the feminist women's health movement ten years after the 1994 International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo, and the 1995 Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing. Their conversation reflects on the nature of the global context in 1994–95 and how that context has changed a decade …
Population Policies Reconsidered
In this volume, scholars, policy-makers and women's health advocates suggest a new consensus on population policy directions for the 21st century, centred on health, women's empowerment, and human rights. They argue that public policy should assure the rights and well-being of people, rather than simply attempting to limit the ultimate size of the world's population
Setting a new agenda
This paper addresses the need to transform population policies to address development and human rights concerns and to transform family planning into reproductive and sexual health services that advance health and rights, not simply the achievement of democratic objectives. Section I provides the context and section II describes the importance of creating the social and economic conditions within which people can freely and responsibly choose the…

Population Policy and Feminist Political Action in Three Developing Countries
This paper reviews the impact of womens political action on population family planning and health policies during the 1980s in Brazil Nigeria and the Philippines. These cases share similar processes of democratization and economic crises but differ in region population policies demographic processes and levels of womens political mobilization. The countries studied have all undergone a process of democratization which allows the examination of wo…

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…
Comment on Nancy Birdsall's "Women and Population Studies" (Vol. 1, No. 3, Pt. 1) and Sandra S. Tangri's "A Feminist Perspective on Some Ethical Issues in Population Programs" (Vol. 1, No. 4)
Status and Roles of Women as Factors in Fertility Behavior
Family planning programs in the Third World were developed on the assumption that subsidized provision of contraceptive education information and services would increase contraceptive use help reduce national fertility and encourage economic and social development. But family planning programs at best have had a marginal impact on societal fertility. This paper explores the hypothesis that the traditional definitions of womens roles as well as th…
