Reproductive Health Programming From Gender perspective
ثبت نشده
چکیده
In 1994, UN international Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) stressed gender equity as a precondition for health and development along with stress on the need to address women's subordination in reproductive health programs.

Starting from the assumption that gender equity and women's empowerment are necessary to achieving women's reproductive health, this paper focuses on the ways in which reproductive health programs view gender inequity.(1)
