Overview
Sexual and reproductive health includes a range of issues that affect the health of women and men at all stages in their lives.
Driven by women’s and human rights movements, there has been a shift in the international arena from primarily focusing on population control and safe motherhood towards more inclusive and rights-based approaches to sexual and reproductive health.
What you'll study
The Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights including HIV and AIDS module at the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) explores the causes, consequences and patterns of across a range of SRH issues: sexual health, family planning, infertility , antenatal, perinatal, postpartum health, newborn health, abortion, adolescent health, gender based violence and HIV.
The module also explores key considerations for SRHR and HIV policy and practice: such as gender; rights based approaches; sexuality; stigma and discrimination; and ethics. Participants will explore their own norms and values in relation to sexuality and the way these drive the problems and the response to the problems.
Specific attention will be provided to groups that are not sufficiently reached by SRH services, such as adolescents and people with disabilities.
