Gender and Rights in Reproductive and Maternal Health: Manual for a Learning Workshop (A WPRO Publication)

It is crucially important to increase awareness of gender equality to provide analytical and practical tools for health program managers and others to address gender and reproductive rights. Moreover, it is vital to ensure both men's and women's participation in these efforts. This manual is intended for use in facilitating a 6-day workshop on gender and rights in reproductive and maternal health for health managers, policy-makers and others with responsibilities in reproductive health. Other stakeholders working on advocacy and policy and program change in reproductive health, such as nongovernmental organizations and international partners may also find it useful. Although designed as a stand-alone course, it could be integrated with pre- or in-service programs on health systems, rights and gender.WHO Regional Office for the Western Pacific is the author of 'Gender and Rights in Reproductive and Maternal Health: Manual for a Learning Workshop (A WPRO Publication)' with ISBN 9789290612407 and ISBN 9290612401.
