[afro-nets] Universal access to sexual and reproductive health services

Universal access to sexual and reproductive health services
-----------------------------------------------------------

In September 2006, as a result of advocacy by international and national NGOs, the UN General Assembly finally adopted the target of universal access to reproductive health. This health key issues guide explores issues relating to universal access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services using a rights-based approach. The guide examines factors that inhibit access to and use of SRH services, and discusses methods for removing barriers to care and improving access. 

The guide is based on a literature review written by Sally Griffin for the PANOS Relay Programme in association with the Realising Rights Consortium.
