Rethinking Differences and Rights in Sexual and Reproductive Health
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Gender Training Manual

"Rethinking Differences and Rights in Sexual and Reproductive Health", 
published by Family Health International in collaboration with the Cen-
ter for Information and Development of Women (CIDEM), La Paz, Bolivia, 
is now online at:
http://www.fhi.org/en/fp/fpother/genderguid/gendpart1.html

The manual, developed with support from the U.S. Agency for Interna-
tional Development, promotes an approach to sexual and reproductive 
health care that recognizes different needs and perspectives within a 
context of respect for the rights and dignity of men and women. It is 
designed to provide health professionals with a framework for examining 
the quality of care, including the quality of human relations, techni-
cal quality, and quality of administration and management of health 
services. 

The training steps outlined in the manual aim to:

* Create opportunities for reflection and action in the field of gen-
  der-sensitive quality care.

* Provide basic tools that providers can use in their everyday prac-
  tice: key concepts, techniques and practices, and criteria for imple-
  menting quality care.

* Develop capacity for critical analysis that permits participants to
  use key concepts and criteria to recognize, analyze and respond to
  users' realities and institutional practices.

Limited quantities of the manual are available from FHI in English and 
Spanish at no cost to developing country health agencies. For more in-
formation, please
