Improving Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights: A Key Step in Achieving Gender Equality in Pakistan
2018
This case closely examines different aspects and branches of Daud Foundation International (DFI), an organization which aims to improve the quality of life for vulnerable populations in Asia. A senior program manager at Daud Foundation Canada (DFC), is concerned about a health initiative in Pakistan—where sexual and reproductive health rights are a sensitive issue—which would need to integrate sexual and reproductive health services to procure funding from DFC. A solution involves a multipronged approach involving key stakeholders who could address gaps in gender disparities while responding to local needs of the population. This case would be suitable for use in classroom discussions about gender equality, health of women and adolescent girls, as well as community and stakeholder relationships.
The case contains guidance for instructors, including learning objectives and discussion questions. It is part of a 17-case collection written by students in the MPH class of the Schulich Interfaculty Program in Public Health at Western University, Canada. The cases may be freely copied and used for educational purposes by an accredited educational institution.
