Youth – in some areas, contraceptives are not made available to the youth. There
are no adolescent, and youth medical services including sex education for
teenagers. As a result, early pregnancy often happens.
Due to the issues and barriers to accessing RH services mentioned in previous
paragraphs, many women in the marginalized sectors often hesitate to seek services in
their communities. In Region 3, particularly, IPs or Aetas in Capas, Tarlac and the Bajaos
in Pampanga do not willingly seek RH services and simply wait for the government to
reach out to them. The government, on the other hand, does not prioritize their needs.
For NCR, CAR, Regions 2, 4, 8, and 9, they remark that marginalized women willingly seek
RH services in the community whenever they need these.
The experiences and factors that hinder marginalized women from accessing RH services
are similar to those already discussed in parts III-B and IV B (on hindering factors;
behavior of service providers.
D. Availability of RH Goods and Services during Displacement and Development
Aggression
For many of the Regions, while RH goods and services are available, to some extent,
during times of displacement/crisis/calamity/development aggression, these are not
sufficient. They are consistent in saying that these are not prioritized during times of
crisis.
Region 2 - During times of displacement/ crisis/ calamity/ development
aggression, RH goods and services are available but not in adequate supply. Some
evacuation centers do not have enough facilities like clean comfort rooms. In some
barangays, there are no designated evacuation centers.
Region 3 - During the time of displacement or crisis situation, the local
government or the community tends to forget the reproductive health services
because they focused on providing for the more basic needs of the people such as
food, water and clothing.
