Knowledge and utilization of family planning and safe abortion services among married women of reproductive age in the Raute community of Nepal
Raute the last nomadic hunter-gatherer marginalized indigenous group face disproportionate and persistent barriers to reproductive health services, including family planning and safe abortion. The lack of the pre-existing population-level quantitative reproductive health data limits the ability of health authority to design cultural-sensitive health services. This census-based cross-sectional study enrolled all 192 eligible married women of repro…
Mapping the gendered dynamics of cesarean section
Cesarean section (CS) is a lifesaving obstetric intervention when medically indicated, yet global rates have risen sharply over recent decades, with substantial variation across and within countries. While underuse persists in many low-resource settings, overuse is increasingly documented in higher-income and private-sector facilities, raising concerns about inequitable access, unnecessary surgical intervention, and divergent quality of maternity…
Uterus Transplant
Uterus transplants (UTx) provide women without a uterus the possibility of experiencing gestational motherhood. This paper delineates the complex bioethical landscape surrounding UTx, focusing on the critical aspects of informed consent, risk–benefit analysis, justice considerations, and the distinct challenges encountered by both donors and recipients. While not discussing UTx directly, John Harris’ seminal work, The Value of Life: An Introducti…
Medicalization of female genital mutilation in Egypt
Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a human rights violation that continues to affect over 86% of women and girls in Egypt. While it has declined, the practice is increasingly medicalized posing a significant challenge to abandonment efforts. This study aims to examine FGM medicalization in Egypt by exploring temporal trends, subnational patterns, underlying drivers, and the legal and policy context. We employed a mixed-methods approach, including…
Gender identity and sexual orientation in Austrian adolescents
In many European countries, representative data on the proportion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) adolescents are still lacking. Therefore, this study used data of 9,295 adolescents (11 to 17 years) who participated in two nationwide surveys (Health Behaviour in School-aged Children Study and Austrian Health Study on Apprentices) and investigated answers regarding gender identity and sexual orientation. Additionally, age…

Apuntes feministas para la construcción de una bioética latinoamericana
Este texto surge del proyecto de investigación “Bioética feminista” de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, cuyo objetivo es contribuir al desarrollo de una bioética latinoamericana con fundamentos feministas y de(s)coloniales. Se exploran herramientas conceptuales provenientes de los feminismos, en particular de los feminismos de(s)coloniales y negros, que enriquecen la bioética a través de saberes situados, análisis interseccionales y un…
Is addressing violence against women prioritised in health policies? Findings from a WHO policies database
Violence against women (VAW) affects almost 1 in 3 women and can lead to short and long-term adverse health outcomes. The health sector is an important entry point to respond to VAW. Globally, countries have committed to eliminating VAW through the SDGs and WHO Member States have endorsed a Global Plan of Action on Violence, which asks countries to provide comprehensive health services to VAW survivors. To track progress and establish a baseline …
Sexual and reproductive health research capacity strengthening programs in low- and middle-income countries
Sexual and reproductive health (SRH) research capacity strengthening (RCS) programs in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) are needed to foster the discovery of context-specific solutions to improve patient outcomes and population health. There remains a limited understanding of SRH research strengthening programs to raise skill sets, publications, and infrastructure and ultimately influence health policy and patient outcomes in LMICs. More …
Exploring ethical practice in NGOS on mental health research in Malawi
In recent years, an increasing trend in mental health research has been to collaborate with non-governmental organizations [NGOs] and their constituents. However, ethical difficulties can arise as a result of such partnerships. Understanding the ethics-related practices of NGOs engaged in mental health research is therefore critical. This study addressed these questions in a Malawian context. The goal of this study was to investigate NGO’s ethica…
What interventions are effective to prevent or respond to female genital mutilation? A review of existing evidence from 2008–2020
As the final decade of acceleration towards zero new cases of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM, SDG Target 5.3) by 2030 has begun, increasing the rigour, relevance, and utility of research for programming, policy development and resource allocation is critical. This study aimed to synthesize and assess the quality and strength of existing evidence on interventions designed to prevent or respond to FGM between 2008 and 2020.The study drew on a Rapid…
The impact of social violence on HIV risk for women in Colombia
Gender, violence, and migration structurally impact health. The Venezuelan humanitarian crisis comprises the largest transnational migration in the history of the Americas. Colombia, a post-conflict country, is the primary recipient of Venezuelans. The Colombian context imposes high levels of violence on women across migration phases. There is little information on the relationship between violence and HIV risk in the region and how it impacts th…
Sexual and reproductive health among adolescents in vulnerable contexts in Mexico
Ensuring sexual and reproductive health, and rights for adolescents entails the prevention of early pregnancies, which are widely recognized as a public health problem. Based on the ecological model for early pregnancy, this article identifies the healthcare requirements for preventing unintended adolescent pregnancies in predominantly indigenous communities in Chiapas, Mexico. Using a convergent parallel mixed-methods study design, we surveyed a…
Improving provider and client communication around family planning in Togo
Previous research has shown that clients are better able to achieve their reproductive intentions when family planning (FP) services meet their needs and they have satisfying client provider interactions. There are several areas of quality provider-client communication, including providers taking a complete reproductive history of their clients to best gauge their needs, communication around alternative FP methods and side effects captured in the…
Resilience level and its association with maladaptive coping behaviours in the Covid-19 pandemic
BACKGROUND: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has induced a significant global concern on mental health. However few studies have measured the ability of individuals to "withstand setbacks, adapt positively, and bounce back from adversity" on a global scale. We aimed to examine the level of resilience, its determinants, and its association with maladaptive coping behaviours during the pandemic. METHODS: The Association of Pacific R…
Validación de un instrumento para medir el respeto de la autonomía del paciente en situación terminal durante la toma de decisiones médicas sobre el final de la vida
Antecedentes: El respeto por la autonomía de la persona consiste en considerarlas preferencias y valores de la persona enferma durante la toma de decisions sobre el tipo de atención que recibe y es un elemento bioético-jurídico. Sin embargo, no existen instrumentos validados sobre este fenómeno que ayuden aclarificar la percepción del médico sobre este principio. Objetivo: Elaborar, validar mediante juicio de expertos y pilotear para obtener la c…
Mitochondrial Replacement Techniques, Scientific Tourism, and the Global Politics of Science
The United Kingdom is the first and so far only country to pass explicit legislation allowing for the licensed use of the new reproductive technology known as mitochondrial replacement therapy. The techniques used in this technology may prevent the transmission of mitochondrial DNA diseases, but they are controversial because they involve the manipulation of oocytes or embryos and the transfer of genetic material. Some commentators have even sugg…
Genome editing and international regulatory challenges
Stem Cell Regulation in Mexico
The closely related debates concerning abortion, the protection of the embryo and stem cell science have captured the legislative agenda in Mexico in recent years. This paper examines some contemporary debates related to stem cell science and the legal and political action that has followed in the wake of the latest Supreme Court judgment on abortion, which debates are directly linked to the degrees of protection of the embryo stipulated in the M…
