“…In order to meet the Millennium Declaration Goals of the World Health Organization, improvements in women's RH are an important global priority (Germain & Kidwell, 2005). Qualitative research findings can be utilized to generate clinical practice guidelines, including family planning services (Hinds, Gattuso, Barnwell, Cofer, & Kellum, 2003).…”

The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan Ministry of Health (MOH) have identified the importance of strengthening national capacity through the integration of reproductive health (RH) services into the primary health care system. It is reported that a high percentage of Jordanian women use traditional family planning (TFP) methods, frequently using them incorrectly. Our purpose in this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the issues and challenges related to the use of TFP among Jordanian women. Six focus groups with women of childbearing age (18-44 years of age; n = 51) were held in the northern, central, and southern regions of Jordan. Study participants used traditional methods such as withdrawal, periodic abstinence, and breastfeeding. Often TFP methods were used incorrectly, resulting in a high failure rate with unplanned pregnancies occurring within short inter pregnancy intervals. Women preferred using TFP because of side effects experienced while using modern family planning (MFP) methods, misconceptions, and lack of correct information about MFP methods. Husbands often declined to use condoms but supported the use of TFP methods. Women indicated that they have unmet needs for family planning and that they would consider using MFP methods if accurate information was available at health centers. They emphasized the importance of competent and knowledgeable health care providers (HCPs) who contribute to decision making regarding use of family planning.

“…The implications of this omission on improving the health and well-being of women are comprehensively discussed in the literature (DixonMueller and Germain 2005, Germain and Kidwell 2005, Painter 2005, UN Millennium Project 2006. In many respects, the controversy over sexual and reproductive rights and the MDGs has served to renew global interest in gender and its unique role in development as well as to create a new platform for exploring the intersection of gender and sexuality.…”

Inspired by the vision of the Millennium Declaration, CARE and ICRW (International Centre for Research on Women) partnered with the Inner Spaces, Outer Faces Initiative (ISOFI) to learn how to more effectively integrate gender and sexuality into CARE's sexual and reproductive health programmes. Drawing from lessons learned from gender mainstreaming, ISOFI focuses initially on fostering personal change among staff, helping them to explore their own gender and sexuality 'baggage' and supporting transformation of their 'inner space'. ISOFI then gradually integrates mechanisms to promote organizational change, and finally extends to community development practice, the 'outer face'. As a system promoting change in organizational culture and practice, ISOFI features structured iterative loops of reflection and learning, action and experimentation, and analysis and assimilation. This article describes the ISOFI Innovation System, and reports on ISOFI-generated learning and innovation in sex positive HIV prevention programming for truckers and reproductive health interventions for women in India.

“…During each of these meetings, the United States has pushed to change language to promote abstinence, and remove “reproductive rights” and “reproductive health services” from the original documents. The United States has been the lone dissenter in reaffirming the Cairo program 19,20 . These actions, occurring under an international spotlight, exemplify the agenda of the current US administration, which seems determined to impose its ideals far and wide.…”
