Course Overview
Over the years, women’s health has been defined by reproductive health issues.
This Diploma on Reproductive Health acknowledges gender gaps which are as a result of cultural stereotypes and addresses reproductive health as a state of physical, emotional, mental and social wellbeing. It takes an in-depth look into the problems that socio-economic inequalities have on sexuality and sexual health.
The essence of this course is to hold up sexual and reproductive rights as well as respect for the dignity, equality, and rights of all people as far as public health and social equality issues are concerned.
After taking this course, students can further their studies as researchers or reproductive health practitioners, get involved in programmatic work in advocacy work, policy or evaluation research, or in service delivery.
