Document Summary
Good sexual and reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well- being in all matters relating to the reproductive system. It implies that people are able to have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce, and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Not exactly the same as other definitions, can be different than others. Very dynamic topic area, since mid 90s, definitions have evolved and changed: the term srhr refers broadly to the rights and services related to sexual and reproductive health. When, on a global health scale, started to talk about sexual and reproductive health, entered a mainstream way of framing it. Forced sterilization in india, one child rule in china. Main gaps in icpd program of action after 20+ years: inequalities in access to srh services, education and information, quality of srh services, accountability mechanisms.
