Podcasts about sexual and reproductive health

This week, we're sharing a special clip from a recent episode of a podcast we love, rePROs Fight Back, where Madeline Morcelle, Senior Attorney at the National Health Law Program, breaks down why Medicaid is essential to sexual and reproductive healthcare—and what's at stake with proposed funding cuts. Medicaid currently insures over 72 million people, covering critical reproductive health services like family planning, pregnancy-related care, and abortion (within Hyde Amendment exceptions). But with massive budget cuts on the table, millions of low-income individuals—especially Black, Indigenous, and other people of color, people with disabilities, LGBTQ+ individuals, and young people—could see their access to care drastically reduced.

Medicaid, the United States' largest public health insurance program, currently insures over 72 million people with low incomes. Medicaid covers a host of health needs, including those related to sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Madeline Morcelle, Senior Attorney at the National Health Law Program (NHeLP) and co-chair of the National Coalition for Gender Justice in Health Policy, sits down to talk with us about how Medicaid is indispensable for SRH coverage and how recent proposed cuts would impact those who are enrolled.Medicaid plays an essential role in securing SRH for those with low incomes and other underserved communities, including Black, indigenous, and other people of color, people with disabilities, women and LGBTQI+ people, young people, and people with limited English proficiency. States are required to cover family planning services and supplies, pregnancy-related care, and abortion within the Hyde Amendment's exceptions. The House recently passed a budget resolution that requires at least a minimum of $880 billion in budgetary cuts from the Energy and Commerce Committee—who's vast majority of financial jurisdiction is centered in Medicare, Medicaid, and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Assuredly, proposed cuts would cause states to limit eligibility for Medicaid insurance and impact million's access to SRH care. Find Intersectionality Matters where ever you get your podcasts: https://pod.link/1441348908Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

The year was 2012. A young Benita Kolovos arrives at her high school literature class to find a print-out on her desk. It's the Julia Gillard misogyny speech. When it comes to riveting moments in Australian media, Gillard's speech has few peers. It was raw, honest, and reached millions of Australian women who were fed up with double standards in the workplace, and in life. But one speech can't fix everything. Year after year, when International Women's Day rolls around, we have a special opportunity to reflect on where we are and how far we've come in the last twelve months.Inspired by the power of Gillard's speech, Benita pursued politics in journalism. At the same time, Maddy Harradence, a Registered Nurse, started a long meaningful career in her union, and Rebecca Thistleton forged a path in policy and media. These three visionary women come together for our annual 2025 IWD episode for a wide ranging conversation on politics, health, media, and sport. Women's issues impact everyone - this is not one to miss. CHAPTERS:00:00 Open01:58 Introduction07:38 Women in Politics10:36 Women's Healthcare21:52 Wages and Conditions29:55 Activity Test31:46 Family Violence44:00 Women in the Media53:56 Communicating to Younger Constituents01:07:04 Reasons for Optimism & Path ForwardThe presenting sponsor of the Socially Democratic podcast is Dunn Street.

Sexual and reproductive health faced unrelenting attacks this year, and the assault will likely only increase in 2025 under the Trump administration. Susan Rinkunas with the Cut, Jezebel, and Vice, and an independent journalist covering abortion and politics, sits down to look back with us on sexual and reproductive health and rights in 2024 and what we can expect in the coming year. 2024 was marked by the attempted redefinition of abortion bans by incoming President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance, extremists using the exact same playbook to attack both abortion and transgender health and rights, the Alabama Supreme Court case that declared frozen embryos as people, and a host of abortion ballot measures around the country. 2025 is likely to bring a Supreme Court justice retirement, loosening abortion clinic buffer zones, a goal to defund Planned Parenthood, and continued attacks to gender-affirming care and birth control. Support the showFollow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Bluesky: @reprosfightback.bsky.social Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

Workers with the UN's sexual and reproductive health agency, UNFPA, have some of the toughest assignments going in the humanitarian field, helping protect new mothers and babies often born in the midst of intense conflict zones.For this episode of UN News's flagship podcast, The Lid is On, two UNFPA representatives reflect on their life-saving work with UN News' Shanaé Harte. They discuss some of the most difficult challenges they've faced while providing insight into what changes can be made to improve women's rights worldwide.

On this episode we talked with Lela Dolo about The Importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights  and the situation of motherhood in Liberia.

In conflicts, disasters, and climate and health emergencies, many often consider food, shelter, and water to be the immediate needs of those impacted. While these are incredibly important requirements, women and girls are uniquely impacted by these emergencies, and sexual and reproductive health and rights must also be realized. Gayatri Patel, Chief of External Affairs at the Malala Fund and Senior Fellow with rePROs Fight Back, talks to us about the importance of SRHR provision in humanitarian settings.Gaps in healthcare access extend to abortion, contraception, gender-based violence and sexual violence counseling and care, STI testing/treatment, and more, often brought on by impacted health infrastructure and supply chains. The implementation, support, and prioritization of these comprehensive needs is a step in the right direction for protecting women and girls in crisis scenarios. Some new practices and approaches are showing promising results, and include mobile clinics, cash assistance, legal assistance and further availability of contraception and midwives. Support the Show.Follow Us on Social: Twitter: @rePROsFightBack Instagram: @reprosfbFacebook: rePROs Fight Back Email us: jennie@reprosfightback.comRate and Review on Apple PodcastThanks for listening & keep fighting back!

******TOPIC WARNING This episode discusses miscarriage and abortion****** In this episode of Head On View, hosts Carly and Laura speak with Kylie, a sexual and reproductive health nurse with extensive experience as a midwife. Kylie shares her journey to her current role, highlighting her background in public health education focusing on sexual health, HIV, and hepatitis. She discusses her decision to pursue nursing and midwifery to engage directly with communities, rather than developing policies. Kylie elaborates on her role, including providing medical abortion care, handling STI screenings, and educating on sexual and reproductive health across various life stages. She touches on challenges faced in regions with limited access to abortion services and the evolving laws around nurse and midwife involvement in abortion care. The conversation also covers the importance of normalizing discussions on sexual health, consent in healthcare, and the impact of language and stigma on patient care. Kylie mentions considering further qualifications to expand her scope of practice and her love for her work, despite societal challenges around sexual and reproductive health.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports a UN report points to yawning gap of inequality in sexual and reproductive health worldwide.

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the UN Special Programme on Human Reproduction (HRP) have released a technical brief on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). The brief highlights the opportunities and risks that AI presents in this field, including AI's potential to make sexual and reproductive services more accessible. However, there are concerns over data breaches, bias, unequal access, and misinformation. The brief suggests actions such as revisiting data protection regulations, ensuring diversity in training data and development teams, and addressing misinformation. Ethical and inclusive development and regulation of AI in SRHR are crucial. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tonyphoang/message

A variety of court cases, which have the ability to severely restrict, limit, and criminalize sexual and reproductive health care—such as abortion— are circulating throughout the U.S. Jessica Mason Pieklo, Senior Vice President and Executive Editor, at Rewire News Group and co-host of Rewire News Group's podcast Boom! Lawyered, sits down to talk with us about current court cases around the country and what these cases may mean for protecting basic SHRH care. The pillars of these court cases include that of miscarriage criminalization, abortion ban exceptions, criminalizing medical providers, placing care limitations on emergency rooms, state abortion bans, and access to mifepristone; the decisions that come from these cases may have erect more barriers to care, spread additional stigma, and create legal concerns for patients and providers.   LinksJessica Mason Pieklo on TwitterRewire.News on TwitterRewire.News on FacebookSCOTUS Is Likely to Decide if Abortion Is Health CareIdaho's Reproductive Health Crisis and Christian NationalismOhio Woman Who Miscarried Faces Charge That She Abused CorpseKate Cox sought an abortion in Texas.

Access to sexual and reproductive health services is a human right, but for millions of women and girls in Sub-Saharan Africa it is lacking. Consequently, the region has the highest maternal mortality rate in the world with 545 deaths for every 100,000 live births, according to the United Nations children's agency UNICEF.In this episode of our Science Explained series, reporter Michael Kaloki speaks with Tlaleng Mofokeng, the UN Special Rapporteur on the right to health.

Jenny Dwork, VP of Brand Marketing at Wisp. Jenny's marketing and storytelling experience has been incredibly varied, from working as a producer for CNBC during the 2008 financial crisis to leading Aerosoles' turnaround strategy. Wisp is, dare we say, democratizing the vagina, making it fast and easy to treat common issues that this amazing body part faces, from yeast infections to UTIs. We wanted to chat with Jenny to dig into our lack of access as women as well of the importance of destigmatization when it comes to sexual and reproductive health.

When it comes to women's sexual and reproductive health issues, there are pressing needs that have not received enough resources or attention. Funding sexual and reproductive health services is an investment that saves the lives of women and children, while also strengthening families and communities. We'll be shining a spotlight on what healthcare and gender rights experts want to see in Budget 2024 to improve women's health, especially in the areas of sexual and reproductive health.Brought to you by Mah Sing.

National Adolescent Health Month™ (NAHM™) is a health observance that emphasizes the importance of building on young people's strengths and potential, encouraging meaningful youth engagement in adolescent health activities, and highlighting key topics in adolescent health.  Week 1: Expand sexual and reproductive health information and services. Better information and improved access to services will help adolescents make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health. So in this episode we are going to go over 7 Tips for Youth-Supporting Professionals for Talking with Youth About Sexual and Reproductive Health provides tangible recommendations to promote effective and open conversations about sexual and reproductive health with young people.

When we discuss access to information, that includes information about our bodies and our health. Libraries have long been a lifeline to patrons looking to connect with health care resources, dispel misinformation, and find answers discreetly—even when our institutions are under attack. In Episode 82, Call Number explores sexual and reproductive health information at the library. First, ALA Editions Senior Editor Jamie Santoro chats with Barbara Alvarez, author of The Library's Guide to Sexual and Reproductive Health Information. Alvarez discusses a recent she conducted on how libraries provide such information and offers advice on what librarians can do to improve their services. Then, American Libraries associate editor and Call Number host Diana Panuncial speaks with Beth Myers. Myers is director of special collections at Smith College. The women's college in Northampton, Massachusetts is home to the Sophia Smith Collection of Women's History. The two discuss the value of curating a collection that prioritizes sexual and reproductive health and how libraries can form collections of their own.

The National Clinical Training Center for Family Planning is now the Clinical Training Center for Sexual and Reproductive Health, and center staff Kristin Metcalf-Wilson and Katherine Atcheson talk about the name change and other new changes on the horizon.

As part of the April 2023 Clinician Cafe on re-imagining sexual and reproductive health services for male clients, the NCTCFP speaks with David Bell, MD, MPH, professor of medicine at Columbia University and director of their Young Men's Clinic about the specific needs of adolescent and young male clients.

In today's episode of New Security Broadcast, Sarah Barnes, Project Director for the Wilson Center's Maternal Health Initiative Project Director met with Bridget Kelly, Director of Research for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights at Population Institute to discuss the launch of Population Institute's new report: Connecting the Dots, Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights as Prerequisites for Global Gender Equality and Empowerment. On the episode Kelly, lead author of the Connecting the Dots report, shares findings from the report on the importance of the Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) agenda, how SRHR leads to gender equality, the power of and need for increased U.S. investment, and policy recommendations to fully realize the SRHR agenda and improve gender equality and empowerment.   Selected Quotes: Bridget Kelly 1) The U.S. plays such an important role in the global goal to achieve gender equality as the U.S. is the largest funder and implementer of global health assistance worldwide. But what U.S. policymakers often fail to recognize is that these gender objectives are directly impacted by the availability and accessibility of comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services. 2) Why are SRHR important to achieve gender equality and empowerment? Evidence shows us that girls' education, a top gender priority, and SRHR have a mutually reinforcing relationship. Early marriage and unintended pregnancy can both be a cause of and a reason as to why girls are out of school. Of the 261 million adolescent girls age 15 to 19 living in the global South, an estimated 32 million are sexually active and do not want to have a child in the next two years. Yet, 14 million of these adolescent girls have an unmet need for modern contraception and are thus at an elevated risk of unintended pregnancy. So, the barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health services puts the U.S. commitment to girls' education at risk. 3) Improved access to family planning services is linked with a higher labor force participation for women. We also know that reproductive health is a critical element to making space for women to meaningfully contribute to peace and security efforts, not only because they themselves are affected by these outcomes, but also because they are more often able to come to lasting solutions compared to their male counterparts.4) In order to create a more enabling environment for sexual and reproductive health and rights, Congress would need to pass the Global HER Act, which would permanently repeal the Global Gag Rule. The Global Gag Rule, when invoked, prevents foreign organizations receiving U.S. global health assistance from providing information, referrals, or services for legal abortion. Another Act that Congress would need to pass is the Abortion is Healthcare Everywhere Act, which would repeal the Helms Amendment. Now, the Helms Amendment prohibits U.S. foreign assistance from being used for the performance of abortion as a method of family planning. There would also need to be modifications to the Kemp-Kasten Amendment to ensure that U.S. funds are not wrongfully withheld from UNFPA.5) Now is a really opportune time to invest as the world population grows… Today there are about 1.8 billion people between the ages of 10 to 24. That is the largest generation of youth in history and close to 90% of this generation lives in the global South. And, these numbers of individuals are reproductive age are projected to grow. So, what these figures really highlight is just how critically important it is to increase U.S. foreign assistance for global sexual and reproductive health and rights in order to ensure that efforts do not fail to keep pace with the needs of this generation.

The women of earthquake and war-ravaged northwest Syria all have the same message for the international community: help establish peace and restore some sense of hope for the future.That's according to Laila Baker from the UN sexual and reproductive health agency UNFPA, who has been telling UN News what she's seen and heard on the ground in Syria, in the past nine days of frantic relief efforts to save lives following the disaster.May Yaacoub of our Arabic service, asked the UNFPA Regional Director to describe conditions around her.

Last week, Politico published a leaked draft opinion in the Mississippi abortion case facing the Supreme Court, showing the majority of justices in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade's precedent of a constitutional right to abortion. In the climate world specifically, this draft sparked many conversations about how sexual and reproductive health is, in fact, a climate issue. So what do these two seemingly unrelated topics have to do with each other? Ethan gives a very truncated summary of the links between climate change and sexual and reproductive health and shares some climate solutions that could help both issues in this week's “Tip of the Iceberg.” The Sweaty Penguin is presented by Peril and Promise: a public media initiative from The WNET Group in New York, reporting on the issues and solutions around climate change.

Sexual and reproductive health is a human right, essential to human development and to achievement of the Millennium Development Goals. DFID is firmly committed to the Program of Action of the International Conference on Population and Development and will continue to support governments and partners to achieve reproductive health for all by 2015. Poor people, especially women and young people, face huge social and economic barriers to sexual and reproductive health. 120 million couples do not have access to the family planning services and contraception they need. Every year, 529,000 women die from complications of pregnancy and childbirth and 3 million children die in the first week of life. 38 million people are currently living with HIV and 340 million people contract sexually transmitted infections each year. Most are preventable. This paper sets out DFID's position on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights and our view of the future. It forms the basis for planning our investment and activities and our work with partners. We have seen considerable achievements since the I994 International Conference on Population and Development set goals and targets on reproductive health and rights for all by 2015. Countries have turned ICPD commitments into policies and action, increased access to a range of family planning options, and in some countries cut maternal deaths. But faster progress is needed. We face new challenges, in particular the devastating impact of HIV and AIDS and the biggest ever population of young people entering their reproductive years. Demand for sexual and reproductive health services and commodities will continue to grow. Health systems remain weak in many countries and are deteriorating in some. There are too few health workers particularly in the poorest areas. We could make more use of opportunities to integrate HIV and sexual and reproductive health services in ways that respond better to people's needs. DFID will work with country governments and partners to: • advocate internationally and nationally for policies and resources that address people's rights to sexual and reproductive health, and continue to address controversial issues such as safe abortion and harmful and coercive practices; • improve access to comprehensive services, that are responsive to the rights and needs of poor people and other vulnerable groups; • address social cultural and economic barriers, using a rights-based approach, and tackling issues outside the health sector; and • support research, monitoring and evaluation and apply knowledge and lessons learnt in policy and planning. 1 Our aim is to achieve the following outcomes: • Improved maternal and newborn health. • Accessible, high quality family planning choices. • Elimination of unsafe abortion. • Reduced incidence of HIV and sexually transmitted infections. • Greater awareness of sexual health and reduced risky behavior. • Gender equality, rights, accountability and equity realized everywhere I am fully for https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SlutWalk. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/antonio-myers4/support

I'm joined on this episode by Sally Fallon Morell, president of the Weston A. Price Foundation and author of the best-selling cookbook, Nourishing Traditions®: The Cookbook that Challenges Politically Correct Nutrition and the Diet Dictocrats. Much of Sally's career has been dedicated dispelling food myths most notably that animal fats and cholesterol are not villains but vital factors in the diet, necessary for normal growth, proper function of the brain and nervous system, protection from disease and optimum energy levels.Sally joins me for nuanced conversation on the role of nutrition in cultivating sexual and reproductive health in a world of increasing infertility rates and struggling sexuality.  She explores the roles of traditional diets and practices in the promotion of all aspects of health and how our sexual and reproductive health struggles may actually be early warning signs of larger health problems ahead.    You can follow Sally and the wonderful work of the Weston A.
