Despite many positive developments in sexual and reproductive health in recent years, many Africans still encounter challenges, for instance in poor maternity services, living with HIV, and discrimination on the basis of age, gender, sexual orientation or identity. Covering topics such as abortion, gender identity, adolescent sexuality and homosexuality, the chapters in this book discuss the impact of culture, morality and social beliefs on the enjoyment of sexual and reproductive health and rights across the continent, particularly in relation to vulnerable and marginalised groups. The book also explores the role of litigation, national human rights institutions and regional human rights bodies in advancing the realisation of sexual and reproductive health and rights in the region. Throughout, the contributions highlight the relevance of a rights-based framework in addressing topical and contentious issues on sexual and reproductive health and rights within Sub-Saharan Africa. This book will be of interest to researchers of sexuality, civil rights and health in Africa"--$cProvided by publisher. 410 0$aRoutledge contemporary Africa series. 606 $aReproductive health$xGovernment policy$zAfrica 606 $aReproductive health$zAfrica 606 $aSexual health$zAfrica 606 $aHealth services accessibility$zAfrica 610 $aHuman rights, civil rights 610 $aSex and sexuality, social aspects 615 0$aReproductive health$xGovernment policy 615 0$aReproductive health 615 0$aSexual health 615 0$aHealth services accessibility 676 $a363.96096 700 $aDurojaye$b Ebenezer$4edt$01361648 702 $aDurojaye$b Ebenezer 702 $aMirugi-Mukundi$b Gladys 702 $aNgwena$b C.
