Reproductive Health. The Right to Decide and the Importance of Education in Preventing Health Risks for Women In addition to general health issues such as infections, diseases, or fractures, at a certain time in their life most women are confronted with specific conditions related to sexual reproduction and child bearing. Although pregnancy and delivery are natural processes, they engender some health risks that can turn bad if the mother does not receive appropriate care. Since the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in Cairo, reproductive health has increasingly been recognized as an important issue worldwide (UNFPA, 2011). There have been two different perspectives to address the subject of reproductive health. The first one was developed during the 1994 ICPD in Cairo. Based on feminist theory, it considers reproductive and sexual rights to be human rights. Obtaining these rights is part of the empowerment of women in the process towards gender equality. The second only looks at reproductive health from the perspective of family planning and sexual health. This limiting viewpoint mainly aims at reducing fertility rates among poor segments of the population in an attempt to tackle poverty. Since the 1994 ICPD, Mexican government has introduced the concept of reproductive health in health care programs. However, Mexican health care services often still fall back on the restrictive perspective. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a more general approach to reproductive health in Mexico (Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 2003: 5-7). Moreover, an important discrepancy can be noted between the institutional discourse on reproductive and sexual health, and the real practices in Mexico. Awareness of the importance of a broad approach to reproductive health and the adoption of a gender perspective, seem to vary depending on the hierarchical level of the health care services. At an institutional level, these concepts are accepted and regarded as important. The lower levels, and thus the people working in the field, however, are less acquainted with these concepts and with the consequences this has on their work (Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, 2003: 7-9). As rural and indigenous communities are most vulnerable, medical practitioners working in these areas should be particularly vigilant and well prepared to address issues regarding reproductive health. In what follows, central topics related to the reproductive health of women, such as family planning and contracepti...
