This book was released on 2022-01-28 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a project of empirical research on issues of theology, sexuality, and reproductive health and rights. It was carried out by researchers from two theological institutions in Brazil and Colombia in close contact with the grassroots in various civil-society organizations. Numerous studies at twenty-six Latin American institutions on the relation between theology and HIV/AIDS prepared the way for this project. It promotes and applies methodologies for Latin American popular education and participatory action research (PAR). While the project was finalized long before the COVID-19 pandemic hit Latin America and the world, the pandemic gave fresh evidence of the relevance of the project. The present volume is the English translation of the initial Portuguese and Spanish reports about the project, enriched with a new preface. The editors are delighted that this translation will help spread the vital insights from this research to a wider and global readership.

This book was released on 2023-06-19 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on the flight of women and girls from Venezuela, this book examines the gendered nature of forced displacement and the ways in which the failures of protection regimes to be sensitive to displacement’s gendered character affect women and girls, and their sexual and reproductive health. Highlighting how categorical legal distinctions between ‘refugees’ and ‘migrants’ fail to capture the dynamics of forced migration in Latin America, it investigates how the operation of this categorical divide generates responsibility and protection gaps in relation to female forced migrants which act as determinants of sexual and reproductive health. Drawing on the voices of displaced women, it argues that a robust political ethics of protection of the forcibly displaced must encompass all necessary fleers and be responsive to the gendered character of forced displacement and particularly to effective access to sexual and reproductive health rights.

Download or read book Fertility, Sexual and Reproductive Health, and Child Health Outcomes: A Multilevel Analysis of Heterogeneity in Latin America and the Caribbean written by Lucrecia Mena Meléndez and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the second half of the 20th century, the region of Latin America and the Caribbean experienced important sociological and demographic changes with far-reaching and long-lasting consequences. While fertility declined sharply, sexual and reproductive health gained increasing attention, and child morbidity and mortality largely improved, limited research has investigated how these processes vary across ethnoracial identity, rural-urban residence, and national origin. Using Demographic and Health Survey (DHS) data (1986-2017) for Latin America and the Caribbean, this dissertation explores heterogeneities in ethnoracial identity, rural-urban residence, and national origin on fertility, sexual and reproductive health, and child health outcomes. Across three empirical chapters, this dissertation tests these associations using a framework that is contextual, multilevel, and comparative, seeking to elucidate significant inequalities in this region. The first empirical chapter relies on DHS data for seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Peru) to measure and explain rural-urban disparities in fertility for women with different levels of educational attainment. The second empirical chapter also relies on DHS data for seven countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras, and Peru) to assess rural-urban differences in unintended pregnancies, contraceptive nonuse, and terminated pregnancies. Finally, the third empirical chapter uses DHS data for four countries in Latin America and the Caribbean (Bolivia, Colombia, Guatemala, and Peru) to explore ethnoracial differences in child under-5 mortality, stunting, wasting, and anemia. Overall, this dissertation advances our understanding of sociological and demographic processes in a largely understudied developing region. It makes numerous important contributions to the literature: providing a holistic understanding of heterogeneities in fertility, sexual and reproductive health, and child health outcomes; measuring and explaining disparities after controlling for geographic, socioeconomic, individual, and reproductive characteristics; providing an assessment of child health disparities across ethnoracial groups; and relying on all DHS data waves for multiple countries over more than thirty years. This dissertation finds significant inequalities in fertility, sexual and reproductive health, and child health outcomes by ethnoracial identity, rural-urban residence, and national origin in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean.

This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 583 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Programme of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD) in 1994 defined strategies and goals for advancing reproductive health and rights that are still far from being reached in Latin America. This paper will use elements of a framework developed by Gruskin et al1 that analyses the interconnected factors affecting the sexual and reproductive health of people living with HIV. We use and adapt some of these elements to examine the extent to which sexual and reproductive rights have been realized in Latin America since 1994. Specifically, we consider the rights, needs and aspirations of people; the socioeconomic context; national and international law and policy; health systems, services and programmes; the opposition; the perceived high costs of political support; the role of civil society, NGO networks and coalitions; and development aid, donor policy and government funding. There are a growing number of progressive regional and national bodies, organizations, groups and individuals with a commitment to sexual and reproductive health and rights in the region, and many gains have been made in the realization of these rights. However, these gains are only partial, given the acute inequality across ethnic, socioeconomic and geographic lines, and there is evidence of widening gaps. Given the breadth of the subject and the number of countries involved, this paper can cite only a few of the enormous number of examples from the literature. We hope the paper will stimulate further in-depth, critical reviews of these issues at the country and regional level.

Download or read book Latin American Perspectives on the Sociology of Health and Illness written by Fernando De Maio and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-05-21 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sociology of health and illness is a rapidly growing field. Yet, as a field, it has suffered from a remarkably limited perspective dominated by scholarship produced in the global north. Scholars in the sociology of health and illness have been late to enter debates in global health and have generally failed to learn lessons from work originating in the global south. To begin to address this limitation, this edited collection features notable contributions from Latin American scholars exploring key issues, including sickle cell disease in Brazil, cancer and Chagas disease in Argentina and reproductive health in Mexico. This collection, offering a snapshot of the rich and nuanced research being conducted in the region, offers readers valuable lessons. It is our argument that Latin American health sociology has much to offer the larger field of sociology – both for what it can teach us about Latin America in and of itself, and for what this field of scholarship can teach us about health and illness as broadly defined. This collection challenges readers to think about the global nature of health inequalities. Rich in empirical data and theoretical substance, this book is an essential collection for readers interested in understanding the sociology of health and illness. The chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Health Sociology Review and as individual papers in Global Public Health and Critical Public Health.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reducing health disparities and achieving health equity in maternal and infant health is a critical concern for social work and public health stakeholders more generally. This three-paper dissertation is dedicated to exploring program or policy modifiable social determinants of maternal and infant health with a particular focus on vulnerable populations. Paper one explores the influence of household members on women's sexual and reproductive behaviors. Paper two studies the impact of smoke-free regulations on birth outcomes in Latin America. Lastly, paper three looks at the effects of police use of force, and racialized police use of force, on maternal and infant health. The findings of these papers provide important information to inform programs and policies aimed at improving reproductive health and well-being in the U.S. and Latin America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using a political economy of health, Gender, Globalization, and Health in a Latin American Context demonstrates how the development of health systems in Latin America was closely linked to men's participation in formal labor. This established an inherent male bias that continues to shape health services today. While economic liberalization has created new jobs that have been taken up mainly by women, these jobs fail to offer the same health entitlements. Author Jasmine Gideon explores the resultant tensions and gender inequalities, which have been further exacerbated in the context of health care commercialization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Illustrating the diversity of disciplines that intersect within global health studies, Healthcare in Latin America is the first volume to gather research by many of the foremost scholars working on the topic and region in fields such as history, sociology, women’s studies, political science, and cultural studies. Through this unique eclectic approach, contributors explore the development and representation of public health in countries including Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Nicaragua, Puerto Rico, and the United States. They examine how national governments, whether reactionary or revolutionary, have approached healthcare as a means to political legitimacy and popular support. Several essays contrast modern biomedicine-based treatment with Indigenous healing practices. Other topics include universal health coverage, childbirth, maternal care, forced sterilization, trans and disabled individuals’ access to care, intersexuality, and healthcare disparities, many of which are discussed through depictions in films and literature. As economic and political conditions have shifted amid modernization efforts, independence movements, migrations, and continued inequities, so have the policies and practices of healthcare also developed and changed. This book offers a rich overview of how the stories of healthcare in Latin America are intertwined with the region’s political, historical, and cultural identities. Contributors: Benny J.
