The Representation of Men in Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy

The Global Action on Men's Health (GAMH) report, 'Out of Focus: The representation of men in regional and global sexual and reproductive health policy', was published on the 4th of September 2024 (World Sexual Health Day).  This shows that men’s sexual and reproductive health is, in many respects, poor.  For example, men are more likely than women to acquire sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis and gonorrhoea or to be infected by HIV, sperm counts are falling globally, and male sexual dysfunctions - such as erectile dysfunction - are becoming more prevalent.  Men are also often reluctant users of services; partly because of gender norms that inhibit help-seeking, but also because services are not geared towards their needs.  You can download a copy of the report at: https://tinyurl.com/y2brar69
