Interwoven Lives, Threads of Hope: Ending Inequalities in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Right; State of World Population 2024 Year of publication: 2024 Author: Daniel Baker | Ann Garbett | Gretchen Luchsinger | Tlaleng Mofokeng | Letlhogonolo Mokgoroane | Gilda Sedgh | Claire Thomas Corporate author: United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Everywhere, people seeking essential sexual and reproductive health care are forced to navigate overlapping hurdles because of their gender, economic status, ethnicity, sexual orientation, disability and more. In the few places where data are collected, women of African descent are found to be more vulnerable to obstetric mistreatment and negative maternal health outcomes. Indigenous women are often denied culturally appropriate maternal health care, and their own childbirth practices may be criminalized, resulting in significantly higher risk of death in pregnancy and childbirth. Gender-unequal norms remain embedded in health-care infrastructure, including persistent underinvestment in the world’s largely female midwifery workforce. Women and girls with disabilities face up to 10 times more gender-based violence while also facing higher barriers to sexual and reproductive information and care. LGBTQIA+ people face serious health disparities in addition to – and as a result of – discrimination and stigma. The path forward to fulfill the Cairo International Conference on Population and Development promise of universal sexual and reproductive health and rights is clear: To achieve it we must root out inequalities from our health systems and policies and focus as a priority on those women and young people who are most marginalized and excluded. We need comprehensive, universal and inclusive health care grounded in human rights and evidence of what works. This work is vitally important, it is just, and it is possible. This report contains many examples of programmes and efforts that have expanded access to, and uptake of, quality care, usually with interventions tailored by and for those most in need. To accelerate success, we will require more and better data, disaggregated to understand exactly who is being left behind, and collected with their input and safety assured.

Cultural Identity and Citizenship With the Challenges of Globalization (Journal of Humanities and Social Sciences; Vol.6, No.13) Year of publication: 2022 Author: Huda Alshamsi Corporate author: Arab Institute of Science and Research Publishing (AISRP) Citizenship is the emotional feeling that is based on three important pillars, including democracy in human rights, civil society, and the relationship between citizenship and identity, is manifested in the active role of individuals in social construction within human societies. Globalization affects citizenship when it exists among individuals and groups in society. Individual and social affiliations, characterized by anthropological features within social groups, can also impact citizenship. Thus, there may be a specific relationship between globalization and cultural, religious, or other identity patterns. Today, globalization threatens both identity and citizenship. As societies adapt to the global system through these global changes that force interaction with globalization, it becomes essential for communities to address this issue to preserve their identity and individual belonging, whether geographically or socially. This forms the basis for researching the dimensions related to citizenship, identity, globalization, and their interrelationships, which pose significant challenges for societies.
