Women's reproductive health rights

Gender responsive budgeting & women's reproductive rights: a resource pack (pdf 1.6mb)

This resource pack provides relevant knowledge to facilitate mainstreaming gender-responsive approaches into reproductive health programmes.  It also looks at the inclusion of specific aspects of gender inequality and disadvantage into national policy frameworks.

It focuses primarily on health, particularly reproductive health; on HIV/AIDS; and on violence against women as it relates to health services.

The resource pack takes the form of brief "sheets," each focusing on a GRB-related topic. Each sheet includes descriptions of a range of experiences using gender-responsive budgeting in different countries, as well as references to further reading.

The materials included in the resource pack are intended for use in developing countries and look at how GRB can be used to direct attention to those who are most in need and those who are disadvantaged by their gender, economic status, location and other characteristics.
