1) Women's use of birth control is influenced by their social and economic status. Women who feel secure and have alternative sources of power are more motivated to control their family size through birth control. 2) In societies where women have low social status and economic dependence on men, they have less autonomy over decisions related to birth control and family size. Lack of access to contraceptive services and education also limits birth control use. 3) Improving women's financial resources and access to contraceptive information and services could help increase voluntary use of birth control and empower women to have more autonomy over reproductive decisions.

Women’s empowerment in agriculture: Lessons from qualitative research
Overview of qualitative findings from the GAAP2 project and how they relate to the development of the quantitative pro-WEAI survey and how they illuminate quantitative pro-WEAI findings
TwoSidesSameCoinReport
This document discusses the connections between women's access to reproductive healthcare, including abortion, and their economic security and opportunity. It summarizes findings from the Turnaway Study that show women denied abortions were more likely to be in poverty two years later compared to those receiving abortions. The document argues that policies aimed at reducing poverty cannot ignore access to reproductive healthcare like abortion and contraception. Ensuring this healthcare access and providing economic supports for families are needed to truly advance women's economic opportunities and security.

Cynthia Lewis proposes a research project to study contraceptive health in Belize. She notes that currently, data only accounts for married women's contraceptive use and does not include unmarried women. Her research aims to conduct surveys of over 1,000 women in Dangriga, Belize to gather a more comprehensive data set on contraceptive use and needs across different demographics. With this data, she hopes to increase awareness of reproductive health needs and access to services like birth control and prenatal care in rural areas of Belize. If funded, the project has the potential to improve contraceptive education and outreach programs in the country.

Access to safe abortion heu meeting - april 2013
This document discusses making the case for supporting access to safe abortion at CARE. It addresses some common objections to taking on this issue, including that there is no need, it is illegal, donors won't fund it, and it is not CARE's niche. For each objection, it provides counterarguments and evidence. For example, it notes that unsafe abortion accounts for 13% of maternal deaths globally. It also reviews international human rights that uphold a woman's right to safe abortion and abortion law reforms in many countries. The document argues that while safe abortion may not be CARE's main focus, denying those rights harms women, and as an organization committed to women's needs and rights, CARE can help advance these contested

1. The document discusses the relationship between poverty and child maltreatment. It notes that families living below $15,000 annual income are 22 times more likely to experience child maltreatment than families earning over $30,000.
2. Poverty is correlated with higher rates of child maltreatment, though the causal relationship is unclear. Factors associated with poverty like single parenthood, substance abuse, and poor mental/physical health also increase maltreatment risk.
3. Studies found that modest increases in income through programs like child support payments reduced likelihood of child maltreatment reports by about 10% for low-income families. Stricter welfare policies and economic hardship are also linked to higher
Social and Economic Factors Influence Contraceptive Use
Social and economic factors influence contraceptive use in Tanzania. Only 27% of married women in Tanzania used modern contraceptive methods in 2010, and the rate was even lower in Mwanza region at 12%. Both men and women have concerns and misconceptions about side effects of contraceptives. Research shows contraceptive use is associated with greater knowledge about contraceptives and higher education levels. A woman's social network and partner approval also impact her contraceptive use. Economic shocks can disrupt access to contraceptives or encourage greater use to avoid child expenses. National investments in family planning programs aim to expand access and increase contraceptive rates.

Child abuse2
This document discusses child abuse, including definitions, types, warning signs, and prevention. It defines child abuse as harming a child or putting them at risk of harm. The main types are physical, sexual, emotional abuse and neglect. Neglect is the most common type and involves failing to meet a child's basic needs. Physical abuse causes injuries through actions like punching or beating. Sexual abuse involves any sexual act with a child. Emotional abuse damages a child's mental health through actions like belittling or name calling. Prevention requires support systems, home visits, and anonymous abuse reporting options. Treatment involves removing the child from the situation and providing counseling. The document also provides statistics on child abuse in Puerto Rico.

Despite huge gains in child well-being during the Millennium Development Goals era, progress for adolescents – children in the second decade of life – is still lagging behind. "The Handbook of Adolescent Development Research and its Impact on Global Policy" aims to fill critical evidence gaps to speed evolution of better policy-making specifically tuned to this dynamic life stage. This SlideShare gives an overview of the book, which is co-edited by Prerna Banati (UNICEF Innocenti) and Jennifer E Lansford (Duke University).

The document is a sample report on child protection and legislation in the UK. It discusses types of child abuse including emotional, sexual, physical, and neglect. It outlines indicators of each type of abuse and how professionals work together according to legislation like the Children Act of 1989 to protect children and reduce abuse. The report provides advice to a nursery manager on their responsibilities to identify and report abuse according to standards set by the Early Years Foundation Stage Framework of 2017.
Huff.Clinical Practice Project
This document discusses sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among adolescents in Snowflake, Arizona. It notes that STI rates have been rising nationwide and in Navajo County specifically. Snowflake has a small, conservative, and religious population that provides little sexual education. The author conducted a clinical project to provide STI education and resources to patients at a clinic in Snowflake. The project aimed to raise awareness of the rising local STI rates and provide prevention information to address the lack of existing education. Barriers to the project included personal and religious discomfort discussing sexuality, but the author implemented the project by offering handouts and discussing local STI data and prevention strategies depending on patient receptiveness.

The document discusses the importance of reproductive health education for adolescents. It notes that over 1 billion adolescents live in developing countries, where rates of early sexual activity and marriage are rising, putting young women's health at risk. It also discusses how parent-child communication often fails to provide this important knowledge. The document then describes a school-based reproductive health education program implemented in Egypt to assess the impact of such education. It provided curriculum-based sessions to adolescent girls covering topics like puberty, health issues, and gender-based violence. Evaluations found the girls' knowledge and attitudes improved after the training conducted by their teachers using various materials. The document argues school is an effective place for age-appropriate reproductive health education.

What Makes Me? Core capacities for living and learning. Presentation at WISE ...UNICEF Office of Research - Innocenti
Evidence suggests that developing specific core capacities from childhood can support performance in school, work, and life.
These nine “core capacities” are cornerstones of life skills. We often overlook these capacities as innate basic skills, so they are underutilized in efforts to promote child well-being and development.
But by nurturing, expanding, and modelling these capacities, children can better understand and interact with the world around them, and realise their unique potential.

This document discusses the intersections between violence against women (VAW) and violence against children (VAC). It notes that they often share risk factors like social norms and can co-occur, such as children witnessing violence against their mothers. Exposure to violence can also have inter-generational effects, as seen in high rates of violence during pregnancy in some Latin American countries. The document calls for collaborative solutions like changing social norms and coordinating prevention/response efforts between services for VAW and VAC.Webinar Summary: Intersections Between Violence Against Children and Violence...

This document outlines a child protection policy for a voluntary organization. It discusses principles of protecting children, recognizing signs of abuse, and procedures for responding to concerns about a child's welfare. The key points are:
1. The policy's purpose is to safeguard children and promote their welfare by ensuring transparent and safe actions by adults in the organization.
2. It provides guidance on recognizing physical, emotional, sexual abuse and neglect and outlines steps to take if abuse is suspected, such as consulting designated contacts and making referrals to social services or police if needed.
3. The procedures explain the importance of confidentiality but note that a child's need for protection overrides confidentiality concerns. Members should share information on a

Women in Zimbabwe are disproportionately affected by HIV, with infection rates of 21.1% among women compared to 14.5% among men. Condom use within marriage is low, and most infections occur when people get married. Advocacy and training of leaders to promote gender equality, as well as interpersonal communication sessions and programs promoting responsible behavior can help address gender-based vulnerabilities to HIV in Zimbabwe. Focusing on changing social norms and directly involving men and people living with HIV are also important.

Role of Social Networking sites on Gender Violence
Gender-based violence is regarded as one of the forms of human rights violation. It is indeed a global phenomenon surpassing all kinds of national, economic, religious, geographic and cultural borders. Woman abuse is usually performed in her direct social environment thereby affecting the physical as well as her mental health. Violence has disastrous consequences on social welfare, children, families and community. Gender violence restricts the woman’s right to be involved in social life.

Gun control Rogerian Argument
The document discusses differing views on gun control. Those who want stricter laws believe it could reduce mass killings and firearm deaths. However, others argue that the Second Amendment protects their right to own guns for self-defense. Both sides want public safety but disagree on the best approach. The author proposes keeping most gun laws the same but increasing restrictions on assault weapons through longer waiting periods and background checks.

This document discusses a study on the freedom and decision-making role of tribal women in Galudih Village, East Singhbhum, Jharkhand, India. It aims to examine the economic decision-making ability, decisions around childbirth/pregnancy, socioeconomic status, education levels, and empowerment of tribal women. The study is important because development cannot be achieved without empowering women, who make up half the population.

The status of tribal women in Jharkhand is generally low across indicators like literacy, employment, and health. The study will provide insights into factors influencing
Cavin Thesis 08102015
This paper analyzes factors that determine whether women in Ghana, Mali, and Nigeria have heard of effective contraceptive methods. Using Demographic and Health Survey data, the paper finds that wealthier and more educated women are much more likely to have contraceptive knowledge than poorer and less educated women. This suggests that increasing access to family planning information and services could help poorer women achieve their fertility preferences. The findings motivate policymakers to work toward universal contraceptive knowledge and access in order to reduce unintended pregnancies and disparities in fertility rates and socioeconomic outcomes.
M.Ed Advanced Sociology of education's Topic - Womens empowerment..
Education is a key means of empowering women and promoting gender equality. Empowerment involves gaining knowledge, skills, and self-confidence to make choices and control one's own life. Education improves women's economic opportunities and status in society. It also leads to lower fertility rates and population growth by increasing access to family planning. However, disparities in access to education still exist between social groups in many countries due to poverty, discrimination, and lack of political will. Ensuring universal access to education is crucial for empowering women and promoting human rights.
Voice and Agency: Empowering Women and Girls for Shared Prosperity
Despite recent advances in important aspects of the lives of girls and women, pervasive challenges remain, frequently as a result of widespread deprivations and constraints. These often violate women’s most basic rights and are magnified and multiplied by poverty and lack of education. Voice and Agency: Empowering Women and Girls for Shared Prosperity distills vast data and hundreds of studies to shed new light on such constraints facing women and girls worldwide, from epidemic levels of gender-based violence to biased laws and norms that prevent them from owning property, working, and making decisions about their own lives. Building on the landmark 2012 World Development Report, it focuses on several areas key to women’s empowerment: freedom from violence, control over sexual and reproductive health and rights, ownership and control of land and housing, and voice and collective action. It explores the power of social norms in dictating how men and women can and cannot behave—deterring women from owning property or working even where laws permit, for example, because those who do become outcasts.
The report argues that policymakers and stakeholders need to tackle this agenda, drawing on evidence about what works and systematically tracking progress: This must start with reforming discriminatory laws and follow through with concerted policies and public actions, including multi-sectoral approaches that engage men and boys and challenge adverse social norms. Expanding opportunities and amplifying the voices of women and girls isn’t a zero-sum equation because gender equality conveys broad development dividends for men and boys, families, and communities. Conversely, constraining women’s agency by limiting what jobs they can do or condoning gender-based violence can severely hinder efforts to end poverty and boost inclusive growth. Finally, the report argues that more and better data are needed to measure progress and hold governments and development agencies to account.

Reaching Health Messages to Women in India: Evidences from District Level Hea...
Change in behavior is a process that depends on many factors. Mass media plays an effective role
in creating awareness and influencing beliefs, attitude and practices. Since it is an effective instrument in
guiding social norms, it is an equally important factor for behavioral change. The main objectives of this paper
are to examine the extent of reach of messages and it also examines the major source of the health messages for
women in select states. For the present study data of District Level Household Survey, 2007-08 (DLHS3) has
been analyzed. In DLHS 3 data was collected from 720,320 households from 34 states and union territories of
India (excluding Nagaland). DLHS 3 interviewed 643,944 married women aged 15-49. For the present study
simple cross tab analyses has been done. To have a better insight into communication of different health
messages, health information index has been calculated. There is a significant rural-urban, caste and religion
differential in reach and accessibility of health messages through mass media. Health professionals and friends/
relatives are the major sources to receive health messages. Electronic media is the third largest source for
health information but it is also influenced by background characteristics like place of residence, education of
women, economic states etc

Present Situation of Women Empowerment in Bangladesh
The total development of Bangladesh will undoubtedly be hampered if the empowerment status of women, constituting about fifty percent of the country’s population will not be increased or remains as low as it nowadays. In this study an attempt has been made to analyze and determine the nature and extent of women’s empowerment and factors influencing it in Bangladesh using the data of Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (BDHS) 2007. The findings reveal that the overall mean values of Economic Decision Making Index (EDMI) are 0.661, 0.697, and 0.669 and the overall mean values of Household Decision Making Index (HDMI) are 0.604, 0.646, and 0.613 for rural, urban and combined group respectively. It is observed that lowest age group has lowest mean values of EDMI and HDMI for all three (rural, urban and combined) groups. The mean EDMI is the highest when respondents age at marriage is <14 for both rural and urban areas and for combined groups. It is found that household head has negative significant effect on both EDMI and HDMI. Women living in urban area, involved with income generating activities are more empowered than their counterpart. The mean value of EDMI is larger than that of HDMI which indicates that women are less empowered in household decision making purpose than economic decision making. Between the two dimensions of empowerment, obviously urban women are relatively more empowered than that of rural women.

Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.

Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

Youssef
- 3. High Societal: Women with a high social status use birth control because they have alternative power bases because they do not need to reproduce to have a power basis Women in upper and upper-middle class do not have to rely on reproduction for power
- 4. Low Societal: Women in male dominated societies and low societal areas can’t translate their work and earnings into power Men who do not have a stable financial base feel the need to assert their dominance over women to feel power and make the decisions about birth control
