In this episode, we hear from two authors of the paper 'Laws governing access to sexual health services and information: contents, protections, and restrictions', Laura Ferguson and Sarah Emoto.
Laura Ferguson is the Director of Research at the University of Southern California Institute on Inequalities in Global Health and an Associate Professor of Population and Public Health Sciences. She is also an Associate Editor right here at SRHM. Sarah Emoto is a Research Program Specialist at the USC Institute on Inequalities in Global Health.
Their paper reviewed 40 laws in English, French, and Spanish from 18 countries to understand how many and which sexual health services and information countries ensure in their laws, which sexual health services are illegal, and which people are protected from discrimination in accessing these services.
They found that countries use many different types of laws to ensure access to sexual health services or information, and most countries do not cover the same types or number of sexual health services. There are also differences in which people are specifically protected from discrimination in the laws we reviewed.
These findings are important because they may help countries identify ways that access to sexual health services and information could be improved so as to improve people’s sexual health. They may also guide future research.
