Klugman, Barbara; Fonn, Sharon; Khin San Tint. 2001. Reproductive Health for All: Taking Account of Power Dynamics Between Men and Women, a Training Manual.Rome and Johannesburg: AIDOS Aidos ancient Greek personification of conscience. [Gk. Myth.: Zimmerman, 14] See : Conscience and Women's Health Women's Health Definition Women's health is the effect of gender on disease and health that encompasses a broad range of biological and psychosocial issues. Project. 177 p. This manual, which is directed at programme officers of international and local NGOs and Government officers who work in the area of reproductive health Within the framework of WHO's definition of health[1] as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity, reproductive health, or sexual health/hygiene is expected to be used as prototype for the production of training manuals in the various countries which are part of the EC/UNFPA Initiative for Reproductive Health in Asia. It has been written to complement existing manuals as it makes overt links between gender, rights and health, and health programming. The manual consists of four modules: 1) Gender and health; 2) From meeting population targets to human rights and health; 3) Sexual and reproductive rights Reproductive rights or procreative liberty is what supporters view as human rights in areas of sexual reproduction. Advocates of reproductive rights support the right to control one's reproductive functions, such as the rights to reproduce (such as opposition to forced , empowerment; and 4) Promoting equity in programming. Each module starts with the module objectives and a brief analysis of the topic. This is followed by three to six activities for the module; each activity divided into 'Why this activity?', Objectives', 'How to do the activity?', as well as main points to emerge, characteristics and statements on the issue, to assist for the facilitators. The methods and processes allow participants to draw from their own experiences. The manual was designed such that the principles illustrated within each exercise remain constant, but the scenarios, case studies and data can be adapted to be locally specific and relevant. The training objectives are: to understand the impact of gender relations on health within the current socioeconomic context; to understand the impact of gender relations on health, health-seeking behaviour and health services health services Managed care The benefits covered under a health contract ; to understand the genesis of the ICPD ICPD International Conference on Population and Development ICPD Institute for Counselling and Personal Development (Northern Ireland) ICPD Institute for Conflict Management Peace and Development ICPD International Conference on the Prevention of Dementia Programme of Action; to have a common understanding of the key reproductive rights-related concepts in the ICPD and '+5' review documents; to explore how a gender equity and rights approach can be incorporated into sexual and reproductive health programming; and, to re-evaluate programmes within the Asia Reproductive Health Initiative.
