Laws that block family planning cancompromise rights and healthLaws and policies that restrict peoples’ accessand prohibit health professionals from providingsexual and reproductive health services, includingfamily planning, can compromise women’s rightto health and institutionalize cycles of stigmaand discrimination according to Anand Grover,the Human Rights Council's Special Rapporteuron the Right of Everyone to the Enjoyment ofthe Highest Attainable Standard of Physical andMental Health. A State that uses laws to regulateExpanding access throughculturally appropriate, local servicesin Lao People’s Democratic RepublicThe Lao People’s Democratic Republic is a culturally and ethnically diversecountry. Its indigenous communities, which speak four unique languages,account for 40 per cent of the country’s total population. The unmet needfor family planning among these indigenous populations is significant.With support from UNFPA, the Mother and Child Health Center within theMinistry of Health launched an initiative to provide culturally appropriateand client-friendly family planning services in 2006. The programme hastrained villagers to serve as community-based family planning serviceproviders who work with adolescents, young people and married couples.In these communities, contraception use increased from 12 per cent of thepopulation in 2007 to 45 per cent in 2011.Training for pharmacistsresults in more reliable supplyof contraceptives in MongoliaA lack of specialized training for pharmacists had been a major constraintto reliable supplies of contraceptives and other reproductivehealth supplies in Mongolia until UNFPA began collaborating with theMinistry of Health and the School of Pharmacy at the Health SciencesUniversity of Mongolia in revising the training curriculum for youngpharmacists. Today, more than 350 pharmacists graduate each yearwith skills needed to dispense contraceptives and help reduce unmetneed for family planning.peoples’ family planning options “coercivelysubstitutes its will for that of the individual.”In the Interim report of the Special Rapporteuron the right of everyone to the enjoyment of thehighest attainable standard of physical and mentalhealth, Grover called on States to, amongother things, remove criminal and other lawsrestricting access to comprehensive educationand information on sexual and reproductivehealth. He also said that laws and other legalrestrictions that reduced or denied access tofamily planning goods and services, includingemergency contraception, violated the right tohealth and reflected discriminatory notions ofwomen's roles in the family and society.ConclusionA number of important population groups areneglected by family planning systems or facesometimes insurmountable barriers: youngpeople, unmarried adults in their central reproductiveyears, people who are separated fromtheir partners, older men, people with disabilities,refugees, people living with HIV/AIDS,ethnic minorities and other disadvantagedgroups. An enormous need exists to providemore systematically and more generously themeans to delay and prevent unintendedpregnancy.A human rights-based approach to healthand to family planning points to this reorientation.A human-rights framework for policyand programming calls for a focus on fairnessand non-discrimination to achieve equality; onreaching the most neglected, often marginalizedand vulnerable groups; and on buildingmechanisms that strengthen monitoring andaccountability (UNFPA, 2010). Applying ahuman rights-based approach requires notonly having laws and policies that prohibit andsanction discriminatory practices, but also the68 CHAPTER 3: CHALLENGES IN EXTENDING ACCESS TO EVERYONE
systems and civic participation to implementthem and to ensure accountability.Sexual activity is increasingly taking place inways that challenge social norms that dictateunder what circumstances sex should take place.Families, communities, institutions, and governmentswill have to modify their strategies toensure that all people, as entitled rights-holderswith the right to family planning under internationalconventions, are able to realize it.Adolescents, unmarried people of all ages, menand boys, and other socially marginalized groupswith restricted access to information and servicesare among key sub-populations that have notequally benefited from the recent gains in familyplanning. As a result, unmet need remains relativelyhigh among key populations, and access tofamily planning is still more akin to a privilegeenjoyed by some rather than a universal rightexercised by all.tBritish Prime MinisterDavid Cameronand Melinda Gatestalk about familyplanning issues andvolunteering withyoung people at theLondon Summit onFamily Planning.©Russell Watkins/UK Department forInternational DevelopmentTHE STATE OF WORLD POPULATION 201269
