Short Summary |
For some years, awareness about the need for
comprehensive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for women
in situations of war and armed conflict has been growing. As a result,
humanitarian aid programmes are paying more and more attention to
the provision of SRH services in the field, but a more holistic and
integrated approach to SRH is often still lacking. This guide has
been developed as a practical tool for programme officers in humanitarian
aid to screen programmes and policies in order to promote a more integrated
approach of SRH. It is the result of an interdisciplinary policy research
project for the Belgian Development Co-operation, which highlights
SRH from a human rights approach. It includes medical aspects of SRH
and also emphasises the need to develop an enabling political, legal,
social and cultural environment. (For more information, email icrh@rug.ac.be).
