    Framework for Ensuring Human Rights in the Provision of Contraceptive Information and Services

    This document provides guidance on the different dimensions of human rights that need to be systematically and comprehensively considered in the rights-based provision of sexual and reproductive health services. The framework applies internationally recognized human rights laws to aspects of health care delivery and provides concrete examples of how rights dimensions must be respected, protected and fulfilled. The principles and standards are indivisible, and must be considered as a complete set in assessing services. In this instance, we apply the framework to the contraceptive services as an illustrative example.

            Hormonal Contraceptive Eligibility for Women at High Risk of HIV: Guidance Statement

            The World Health Organization (WHO) convened a technical consultation during 1–2 December 2016 to review new evidence on the risk of HIV acquisition with the use of hormonal contraception. The issue was recognized as a critical one, particularly for sub-Saharan Africa, where women have a high lifetime risk of acquiring HIV, hormonal contraceptives constitute a significant component of the contraceptive method mix and unintended pregnancy is a common threat to the well-being and lives of women and girls.

            The consultation developed recommendations, including:

            • Women and couples at high risk of HIV infection continue to be eligible to use all forms of hormonal contraception. Informed decision-making is a key organizing principle and standard in a human rights-based approach to contraceptive information and services (5). A shared decision-making approach to contraceptive use should be taken with all individuals, but special attention should be paid to using this approach with vulnerable populations, such as women at high risk of acquiring HIV.
            • Women should not be denied the use of progestogen-only injectables because of concerns about the possible increased risk. Women considering progestogen-only injectables should, however, be advised about this, about the uncertainty over a causal relationship, and about how to minimize their risk of acquiring HIV.

              Ideas and Action: Addressing the Social Factors that Influence Sexual and Reproductive Health

              This manual describes the experience of CARE staff and partners in using an approach called Social Analysis and Action (SAA) to identify and address the social, economic, and cultural factors that influence reproductive health. SAA is an approach for working with communities through regularly recurring dialogue to address how their social conditions perpetuate their health challenges. In this way, SAA seeks to enable communities to identify linkages between social factors and health and then determine how to address them. As a first step in this process, SAA encourages CARE staff to deeply question their own biases and behaviours that might contribute to or reduce social stigma, discrimination, and social conditions. In this way, SAA suggests that for developmental change to take place, change must sometimes begin with the development worker.

                Integrated Management Strategy for Dengue Prevention and Control

                This document presents a management model aimed at strengthening national programs and thereby reducing the morbidity, mortality, and social and economic burden generated by dengue outbreaks and epidemics. In order to meet its objectives, the strategy seeks to modify individual and community behaviors and diminish the risk factors for transmission through coordinated measures inside and outside the health sector.

                It also calls for the preparation and execution of integrated national and subnational plans that will make it possible to put together a sustainable national strategy designed by the authorities and experts of each country, with technical cooperation from GTI-dengue. These national and regional strategies should employ an integrated intersectoral and interprogrammatic approach, based on a new practice that makes it possible to evaluate activities and provide continuity for them with national resources.
