This document discusses reproductive health and related topics. Reproductive health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being in relation to reproductive processes, not just the absence of disease. The objectives of reproductive health are to ensure access to comprehensive information and services for family planning and responsible voluntary decisions about childbearing. Reproductive health care includes family planning, counseling, infertility treatment, abortion services, and prevention/treatment of infections and other reproductive health conditions. Traditional harmful practices that violate women's sexual and reproductive rights are also reviewed, such as female genital mutilation, early and forced marriage, female disinheritance, gender inequality and women trafficking.
