ABSTRACT At the outpatient clinic of Ain Shams University Maternity Hospital, perceptions and practices of 1000 women regarding their reproductive health rights (reproductive rights) were evaluated. The majority had positive perceptions about their rights to reproductive health; however, 30% disagreed with prohibitions of discrimination against women, particularly prohibitions of female genital mutilation (FGM). A significant association was found between perceptions of sexual rights and demographic characteristics and between education and practices regarding early detection of cancer. No significant association was found between education and concepts of adolescent health education as a reproductive right. Programmes about women's reproductive rights that emphasize the issue of sexual health through religious education are recommended as one of the best strategies for the eradication of FGM.
在艾因夏姆斯大学妇产医院门诊,对1000名妇女关于其生殖健康权利(生殖权利)的认知和行为进行了评估。大多数人对其生殖健康权利有积极认知;然而,30%的人不同意禁止对妇女的歧视,特别是不同意禁止女性生殖器切割(FGM)。在性权利认知与人口统计学特征之间以及教育与癌症早期检测行为之间发现了显著关联。在教育与作为一项生殖权利的青少年健康教育观念之间未发现显著关联。建议通过宗教教育强调性健康问题的妇女生殖权利项目,作为根除女性生殖器切割的最佳策略之一。
