Reproductive Health and the Women of Lesotho: The Challenges

Abstract

Reproductive health is a right every citizen can enjoy without fear or prejudice. However, in conservative societies, discussing or educating young people on reproductive health is taboo. Lesotho is one such society debilitated by tendencies where openly discussing reproductive health in the home between children and their parents barely exists. This study, therefore, sought to explore the subject matter of reproductive health, demystify it and promote health communication on the issue for a healthier society. The study employed the qualitative approach, interviewing women from the cross-section of society indiscriminately, and presented and analyzed the findings qualitatively.
