With all the issues surrounding the availability and accessibility of RH goods and services
during times of crisis, it is not surprising that the participants remark that the State does
not provide enough RH goods and services during times of displacement / crisis /
calamity / development aggression.
Recommendations
Information dissemination should be conducted to increase awareness of the
community people on women’s reproductive health and the RH goods and
services available in Barangay Health Centers, as well as services available during
displacement and development aggression.
More training should be conducted for health providers to enable them to explain
very well the family planning options. Instructions on how to use RH should also
be explained clearly in layman’s language to ensure that the users understand.
More importantly, these should be given by the health providers with a smile and
respect for human dignity. (Region 4)
There is a need to reconcile cultural practices to the reproductive health laws
(Region 12).
Involvement of male partners as equal partners in RH matters should ne ensured.
In cases of marginalized women, more efforts should be made in explaining RH
goods and services to women with disabilities, such as entertaining their
questions. (Region 10)
For LGBTs, it is recommended that the health provider also belongs to the LGBT
group to be able to provide better support system to the client. (Region 4)
Sex education for the youth. In CAR, methods such as conduct of film showing for
the youth and children on RH, teenage pregnancies, etc. are suggested.
In times of calamities and displacement: it is recommended that doctors and
nurses be deployed after calamities to provide RH services (Reg 7)
“Kubo-kubo” houses (huts) should be made available whenever displacement
occurs for couples to “exercise sexual rights” while recovering from calamities
(Reg 7).
