商品描述

In a time of global backlash against women's rights and gender issues, this book echoes the importance of protecting the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women by conceptualising and analysing relevant sexual and reproductive health rights issues (SRHR) in Africa and the Caribbean. It examines the linkages that exist around SRHR issues between the two regions and how this understanding can help to support the protection of sexual and reproductive health and rights both in Africa and the Caribbean. It focuses on providing historical, conceptual and contxtual understandings of SRHR issues in the African continent and the Caribbean region. The main topics engage theoretical and contemporary issues, e.g., limitations to the single use of courts as avenues for reducing obstetric violence, abortion rights, maternal mortality, gender-based violence, and adolescent sexuality. The book presents diverse perspectives in the examination of SRHR issues by offering legal, socio-political, and medical frameworks for analysing and understanding sexual and reproductive health and rights. It further contributes to the discourse and strategies to protect the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women and men to improve both women's and men's quality of life/well-being and to also achieve gender equality.

在全球對女性權利和性別議題的反彈時期，本書強調保護女性性與生殖健康及權利的重要性，通過概念化和分析非洲及加勒比地區相關的性與生殖健康權利議題（SRHR）。它探討了這兩個地區之間在SRHR議題上的聯繫，以及這種理解如何有助於支持保護非洲和加勒比地區的性與生殖健康及權利。本書專注於提供對非洲大陸和加勒比地區SRHR議題的歷史、概念和背景理解。主要主題涉及理論和當代議題，例如，僅依賴法院作為減少產科暴力的途徑的限制、墮胎權、母親死亡率、性別暴力和青少年性行為。本書通過提供法律、社會政治和醫療框架來分析和理解性與生殖健康及權利，呈現了對SRHR議題的多元觀點。它進一步貢獻於保護女性和男性的性與生殖健康及權利的討論和策略，以改善女性和男性的生活品質/福祉，並實現性別平等。
