Who

WHO has worked in reproductive health since a minimum of 1974, once the deliberations of the expert committee led to the publication of the technical report titled “Education and treatment in human sexuality” (WHO, 1975).

In 2000, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and WHO convened numerous expert consultations to examine terminology and identify programme options.

Throughout these conferences, the significant definitions of terms used here were developed. Inside a subsequent meeting, organized by PAHO and also the World Association for Reproductive Health (WAS), numerous reproductive health concerns were addressed regarding body integrity, sexual safety, eroticism, gender, sexual orientation, emotional attachment and reproduction.

Working definitions

Sex

Sex refers back to the biological characteristics that comprise humans as female or male. While these teams of biological characteristics aren’t mutually exclusive, because there are those who possess both, they have a tendency to distinguish humans as men and women. Generally use within many languages, the word sex is frequently accustomed to mean “sexual activity”, however for technical

purposes poor sexuality and reproductive health discussions, the above mentioned definition is preferred.

Reproductive health

Based on the current working definition, reproductive health is:

“…a condition of physical, emotional, mental and social well-being with regards to sexuality it’s not

just the lack of disease, disorder or infirmity. Reproductive health needs a positive and

sincere method of sexuality and sexual relationships, along with the chance of getting

enjoyable and safe sexual encounters, free from coercion, discrimination and violence. For

reproductive health to become achieved and maintained, the sexual legal rights of persons should be respected,

protected and satisfied.” (WHO, 2006a)

Sexuality

Reproductive health can’t be defined, understood or made operational with no broad thought on sexuality, which underlies important behaviours and outcomes associated with reproductive health. The significant meaning of sexuality is:

“…a central facet of being human throughout existence encompasses sex, gender identities

and roles, sexual orientation, eroticism, pleasure, closeness and reproduction. Sexuality is

experienced and expressed in ideas, fantasies, desires, beliefs, attitudes, values, behaviours,

practices, roles and relationships. While sexuality may include many of these dimensions, not every

seem to be always experienced or expressed. Sexuality is affected by the interaction of

biological, mental, social, economic, political, cultural, legal, historic, religious and

spiritual factors.” (WHO, 2006a)

Sexual legal rights

There’s an increasing consensus that reproductive health can’t be achieved and maintained without respect

for, and protection of, certain human legal rights. The significant meaning of sexual legal rights given here is a

contribution towards the ongoing dialogue on human legal rights associated with reproductive health (1).

“The fulfilment of reproductive health is associated with the level that human legal rights are respected,

protected and satisfied. Sexual legal rights embrace certain human legal rights which are already recognized

in worldwide and regional human legal rights documents along with other consensus documents as well as in

national laws and regulations.
Legal rights important to the conclusion of reproductive health include:

• Legal rights important to the conclusion of reproductive health include:
• the legal rights to equality and non-discrimination
• the authority to reduce torture in order to cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment or punishment
• the authority to privacy
• the legal rights towards the greatest attainable standard of health (including reproductive health) and social

  security

• the authority to marry and also to found a household and enter marriage using the free and full consent

  from the intending spouses, and also to equality in and also at the dissolution of marriage

• the authority to decide the amount and spacing of a person’s children
• the legal rights to information, in addition to education
• the legal rights to freedom of opinion and expression, and
• the authority to a highly effective fix for violations of fundamental legal rights.

The responsible exercise of human legal rights mandates that all persons respect the legal rights of others.

The use of existing human legal rights to sexuality and reproductive health constitute sexual legal rights.

Sexual legal rights safeguard all people’s legal rights to fulfil and express their sexuality and revel in sexual

health, with due regard for that legal rights of others and inside a framework of protection against

discrimination." (WHO, 2006a, updated 2010)

(1) It ought to be noted this definition doesn’t represent the official WHO position and cannot be utilized or quoted

as a result. It’s offered rather like a contribution to ongoing discussion about reproductive health.
