UNFPA warns of threats to sexual and reproductive health

The UN Population Fund (UNFPA) has
warned in a new report that political
and social polarisation has put at risk
decades of gains in ending inequalities
in sexual and reproductive health and
rights, widening the access divide and
threatening future progress.In the report, released on April 17,
the organisation says that a relentless,
well organised effort to push back
against human rights and gender
equality is underway, and also
cautions that resistance to sexual and
reproductive health and rights "is
resulting in greater marginalisation
for communities already left—or
pushed—behind. Efforts to control
fertility and restrict bodily autonomy
disproportionately affect migrants,
people with disabilities, and minority
and indigenous communities, among
many others."Speaking to The Lancet, Natalia
Kanem, UNFPA Executive Director,
said that considerable gains had been
made: "The unintended pregnancy
rate has fallen by nearly 20% since
1990, the maternal death rate by
34% since the year 2000, and new
HIV infections by one-third in the
last 15 years." But she also noted that
progress in sexual and reproductive
health and rights has stalled in many
cases: "Annual reductions in maternal
deaths have flatlined. The world has
made zero progress on saving women
from preventable deaths in pregnancy
and childbirth since 2016, and one
woman in four cannot make her
own health-care decisions. In 40% of
countries with data, women’s bodily
autonomy is diminishing.""One important reason, our report
shows, is that we have not prioritised
reaching those furthest behind. We
see, for example, that barriers to
health care fell fastest for women
who are more affluent, educated, and
privileged. When we look at ethnic
disparities, we see that the groups
that have benefited the most are those
that had the fewest barriers to begin
with. In fact, health-care disparities
within countries are oftentimes just as
significant, if not greater, than those
between countries."Flavia Bustreo, Chair of the
Governance and Ethics Committee at
the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn
and Child Health, told The Lancet that "the manifestations of regression" of sexual and reproductive health
and rights are taking different forms,
including diminishing legal access to
abortion, criminalising sex for people
who are LGBTQ, or consideration of
repealing laws banning female genital
mutilation. She called for "stronger
measures to signal disagreement".Winnie Byanyima, UNAIDS Executive
Director, told The Lancet that the UNFPA
report "demonstrates the harm caused
by the well-funded, well-organised,
and brutal anti-rights campaign to
criminalise and punish people for
who they are and who they love”.
But, Byanyima said, the report also
“powerfully conveys the social progress
that has been won through determined
activism. As the report notes, at the
start of the AIDS pandemic, most
countries criminalised LGBTQ people,
but now two-thirds do not."New research by UNFPA in a group
of low-income and middle-income
countries (LMICs) shows that most
women had seen a promising overall
reduction in problems of access to
health care. However, a handful of
countries saw little change (Gabon,
The Gambia, Malawi, Nigeria, Peru, and
Sierra Leone) or evidence of regression
(Kenya, Pakistan, and Senegal). In more
than half of the countries analysed,
ethnic disparities had widened.
The UNFPA report says that the call
for disaggregating data to identify
where, and for whom, unmet
sexual and reproductive needs are
most dire “has gone unfulfilled”.
Rebecca Zerzan, the editor of the
report, told The Lancet, "Every country,
every society has people who are
being left behind...we need to find out
where they are through better data
and safe data collection, and we need
to prioritise the realisation of their
rights."In particular, the report highlights
that while some factors such as
gender, income, geography, and age
are routinely considered in surveys and
analyses, “desegregation by ethnicity,
race, language, religion or indigeneity
remain rare. Disaggregated data
showing access to services by HIV
status, migration status or LGBTQIA+
identity are even rarer".UNFPA estimates that spending
an additional $79 billion to scale up
coverage of 29 essential family planning
and maternal health interventions in
LMICs by 2030 would avert 400 million
unplanned pregnancies, save 1 million
lives, and yield $660 billion in economic
benefits."We always say we have the tools
and we know how to use them. Now
they need to be used", Clara Menéndez,
Director for the Maternal, Child, and
Reproductive Health Initiative and
Programme at Barcelona Institute
for Global Health (ISIGlobal), told
The Lancet. "This is the time for highlevel advocacy and for getting these
tools to the people who need them."This news item was originally published on thelancet.com.
