For LBTs, the stigma borne by their sexual orientation and gender identity continue to hinder sensitive delivery of reproductive health services and information. In the same vein, access to reproductive health services and general health services of persons with HIV are affected by the stigma attached to HIV and the lack of awareness and training of health workers on HIV. In areas where displacement is prevalent, the constant complaint has been the failure to take into consideration and prioritize the reproductive health needs of women and their protection from violence and trafficking. For the IDPs in Zamboanga and in Tacloban, despite having been resettled either in transitory or in permanent shelters, access to reproductive health services and information, to health facilities, and to transportation to health facilities have been consistently complained of.

It has been expressed during the National Inquiry that the requirement of third party consent, particularly consent of parents in the access of RH services, does not help curb or address the increase of teenage pregnancy. The increasing number of teenage pregnancy also calls for the review of the effectivity of the current efforts/programs towards adolescent and youth reproductive health guidance and counseling, education and counseling on sexuality and reproductive health and reproductive health education for the adolescents.
