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). 21
