Global Public Health, 10(2), 149-173. doi:10.1080/17441692.2014.986178http://hdl.handle.net/10625/53990Accomplishments include a 45% decline in the maternal mortality ratio (MMR) between 1990 and 2013; 11.5% decline in global unmet need for modern contraception; 21% increase in skilled birth attendance; and declines in both the case fatality rate and rate of abortion. Yet aggregate gains mask stark inequalities, with low coverage of services for the poorest women. While there have been notable declines in HIV incidence and prevalence, women affected by HIV are too often bereft of other sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services, including family planning. The paper examines inequalities in SRH outcomes and services both between and within regions and countries.Text1 digital file (p. 149-173)application/pdfenREPRODUCTIVE RIGHTSACCOUNTABILITYGLOBAL HEALTHSEXUAL HEALTHPOVERTYSOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTHWOMEN'S HEALTHMATERNAL MORTALITYCHILDBIRTHMEDICAL ETHICSGENDER DISCRIMINATIONACCESS TO HEALTH CARECONTRACEPTIONHIV/AIDSJournal Article (peer-reviewed)
