Contraceptive use of young people in select urban - Youth Sextion

Recommendations

Info

predominantly Catholic country, its strong and influential Catholic clergy has been a major hindrance in the passage of laws and policies that recognize and protect the reproductive health rights of Filipinos. This has translated into inadequate, and in some areas, totally nonexistent reproductive health information, services and supplies. 3
II RESEARCH PROBLEM / OBJECTIVES Poor contraceptive use among young people stems from situational factors such as social proscriptions against young people engaging in sex, the sporadic, unplanned nature of sexual encounters among them (especially teenagers), lack of knowledge during the first sexual encounter, and limited mobility and access to contraception. These can be explained partially by significant national and local policies that reflect the Catholic teachings of confining sex within marriage and regarding procreation as the sole reason for engaging in sexual intercourse. Thus, the right of young people to sexual and reproductive health is barely acknowledged and has given rise to problems of availability and accessibility to information and services relating to traditional and modern contraception. It has likewise placed health care providers in a quandary over providing RH counseling and keeping such consultations confidential, which they fear might contravene the right of parents to exercise authority over their children. 4
