Globalization, Poverty and Women's Rights: Making the linkages

Abstract

In examining the links among globalization, reproductive rights and health issues, L. Muthoni Wanyeki argues that Africans need to find new ways of talking about reproductive and sexual rights, from within the cultural and religious contexts within which most African women live and struggle to defend those rights. She proposes that information and services on reproductive and sexual rights need to be high on all African development agendas as a priority in economic and political planning – nationally and internationally.
