Enhancing sexual health within rural populations is of paramount importance, given the distinct obstacles these regions encounter. Our initiatives have included plans to partner with local health authorities, influential community figures, and the people directly impacted to develop enduring, non-discriminatory sexual and reproductive health (SRH) initiatives. By equipping rural communities with the necessary information and tools, we are facilitating significant progress in advancing sexual and reproductive health for everyone #sexualreproductivehealth

One of the key targets of Ghana’s Adolescent Health Service Policy and Strategy is to ensure that 90% of adolescents know about Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) services and rights. This phenomenon has led to establishing adolescent-friendly health facilities to increase adolescent access to health information and services. However, SRH services for adolescents, such as appropriate information, contraception, and treatment for STIs, are either not available or are provided in a way that makes adolescents feel unwelcome and embarrassed. In this commentary, we shared insights into How to Enhance Effective Delivery of Quality Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Ghana. Health services must be sensitive to adolescents’ needs and developmental attributes to attract them.

Sexual and reproductive health (#SRH) is an integral aspect of our lives, and self-care interventions that increase the availability of resources, information, and treatment options can help enhance high-quality, holistic #SRHR, making it attainable for all. In several regions of the world, such as countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, there are still several disparities in access and quality of SRHR. Read our blog on International Self-Care Day here, with a list of papers on self-care interventions and rights-based access to #SRH services!

Better sexual and reproductive health data will help governments and non-governmental organizations monitor, plan, implement and evaluate programs to improve the efficiency of health services and improve the sexual and reproductive health of women.

Accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in Australia's regional, rural, and remote areas presents complex challenges. To better understand these challenges, we are undertaking a two-part research project with Deakin Rural Health to identify gaps, highlight inequities, and inform strategic planning and advocacy efforts. The first part of this project is now complete. We conducted a systematic review of over 2000 articles to investigate the barriers and facilitators to access essential SRH services in Australia's regional, rural, and remote areas. The second part of our project is mapping sexual and reproductive health services in the Barwon South West region. The significance of this research lies in its potential to highlight the systemic barriers and address the pressing need for equitable access to SRH services in regional, rural, and remote areas. #WHSN #WomensHealth #WomensHealthServicesVIC #GenderWiseSavesLives #HealthyBudget4Women
