ABSTRACT

This document reports on the meeting on Women's Health, Human Rights and Family Planning Programs in Mexico

and Peru on May 13, 1996. The meeting had two sessions. Session I discussed the possibilities of ensuring

reproductive rights in the context of Mexican health institutions. Part of the session explained the meaning of

reproductive rights for women in diverse contexts, and translated that meaning into proposals for changes in laws,

government policies, and social services. The findings from a focus group discussion that was conducted in

Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, on women's preference for contraceptive technologies were discussed. Session II began

with an overview of Peru's socioeconomic, demographic, and health indicators, which was then followed by an

assessment of the health of girls and women in Peru, from a life-cycle perspective. Part of session II discussed the

ReproSalud project, which is being implemented by the women's group Movimiento Manuela Ramos with funding

from the US Agency for International Development. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT2T 2061-06)
