| The book contains four multi-disciplinary studies on sexual and reproductive health advocacy and programs in Latin America. Based on original research and the author's 25 years of experience working in the region, the text illuminates the political, cultural, and organizational dynamics that pose an obstacle course to sexual and reproductive health. The first study of advocacy in Colombia and Chile for the legalization of abortion and divorce discusses the "double discourse" system that keeps repressive laws in place and punishes public opposition to political norms that are based on religious doctrine. The second study of Latin American NGO regional and national advocacy networks explores the roots of difficulties they experience in unified decision making. The book then offers two program case studies focusing on citizen participation and respect for rights in health systems and in schools. The Peruvian study deals with a four-city experiment to foster community participation of women's organizations in health services. The Chilean study deals with a highly participatory and successful sex education program in public schools and the ways in which political controversies affected the program, eventually contributing to its demise. Table of contents: The 'double discourse' on sexual and reproductive rights in Latin America : the chasm between public policy and private actions * NGO advocacy networks in Latin America : lessons from experience in promoting women's and reproductive rights * "Let's be citizens, not patients!" : promoting partnerships between women's groups and health services in Peru * Conversations and controversies : a sexuality education program in Chile * Crosscutting issues. | |
