Gender Training Manual

Greetings and apologies for any cross-postings!
Rethinking Differences and Rights in Sexual and Reproductive Health,
published by Family Health International in collaboration with the
Center for Information and Development of Women (CIDEM), La Paz, Bo-
livia, is now online at
http://www.fhi.org/en/fp/fpother/genderguid/gendpart1.html
<http://www.fhi.org/en/fp/fpother/genderguid/gendpart1.html> .
The manual, developed with support from the U.S. Agency for
International Development, promotes an approach to sexual and
reproductive health care that recognizes different needs and
perspectives within a context of respect for the rights and dignity
of men and women. It is designed to provide health professionals
with a framework for examining the quality of care, including the
quality of human relations, technical quality, and quality of
administration and management of health services.
The training steps outlined in the manual aim to:
*Create opportunities for reflection and action in the field of
gender-sensitive quality care.
*Provide basic tools that providers can use in their everyday
practice: key concepts, techniques and practices, and criteria for
implementing quality care.
*Develop capacity for critical analysis that permits participants
to use key concepts and criteria to recognize, analyze and respond
to users' realities and institutional practices.
Limited quantities of the manual are available from FHI in English
And Spanish at no cost to developing country health agencies.
