Who decides to have sex? Exploring the perceptions of Timorese women and men through a reproductive justice lens
Despite national policies to support sexual rights, Timorese women are constrained when making sexual and reproductive health decisions. Contextual understanding of sexual decision making is vital for effective engagement by sexual and reproductive health service providers with communities. An intersectional reproductive justice approach broadens the sexual rights lens allowing for an examination of multi-system factors impacting on sexual rights…

What influences a woman’s decision to access contraception in Timor-Leste? Perceptions from Timorese women and men
Timor-Leste's Maternal Mortality Ratio remains one of the highest in Asia. There is ample evidence that maternal deaths may be reduced substantially through the provision of good-quality modern methods of contraception. Many Timorese women wish to stop or delay having children. However, even when health services make contraception available, it does not mean that people will use it. Collaborating with Marie Stopes Timor-Leste, this qualitative re…
Body Mapping to Explore Reproductive Ethno-Physiological Beliefs and Knowledge of Contraception in Timor-Leste
Maternal mortality remains a significant public health challenge for Timor-Leste. Although access to quality family planning measures may greatly reduce such deaths, consideration of indigenous perceptions, and how they influence reproductive health decision-making and behavior, is crucial if health services are to provide initiatives that are accepted and helpful in improving reproductive health outcomes. We aimed to demonstrate that body mappin…
Transition to adult services – a positive step
Following the success of antiretroviral therapy, an expanding cohort of adolescents with perinatally acquired HIV (PaHIV) is transitioning into adult care. Dedicated multidisciplinary transitional care HIV services have been established in the UK. However, published data on patient satisfaction with such services are sparse. A single centre survey of patient satisfaction was conducted in January 2014, and results compared to a previous similar su…
The Lived Experiences of Mexican-Heritage Mothers Caring for Overweight Preschool Children
Mexican-heritage children are at greater risk to become overweight or obese than children of other ethnic or racial groups. Despite this, there is limited information in the literature about how the mothers care for their preschoolers after they are classified as overweight or obese. The objective of this study was to gain insight into the lived experiences of Mexican-heritage mothers caring for overweight or obese preschool children to enhance n…
Refocusing on Oral Language and Rich Representations to Develop the Early Mathematical Understandings of Indigenous Students
This article examines the nature of oral language and representations used by teachers as they instruct young Indigenous Australian students at the beginning of formal schooling during play-based activities in mathematics. In particular, the use of Standard Australian English (SAE), the mathematical register used, and the interplay with mathematical representations during classroom instruction are analysed based upon the teachers' selfreported pr…
Seeking Justice
In October 1999, Congress authorized the creation of the U.S. Department of Defense Task Force on Domestic Violence (DTFDV) as a 3-year effort to assist the secretary of defense in developing domestic violence prevention programs and interventions. The DTFDV began meeting in April 2000 and submitted its first report to the secretary of defense on February 28, 2001. This report included 68 recommendations addressing victim safety, offender account…
