Resource Centers
ARHP resource centers are designed to inform health practitioners and the general public on information related to reproductive health. These resource centers are gateways to the vast array of information available on the ARHP Web site and the world wide web. Many of these resource centers include streaming news headlines, which are updated on a daily basis.
Position Statements
ARHP concurs with the definition of reproductive health articulated both in the 1994 International Conference on Population Development and reaffirmed at the Beijing (Fourth) World Conference on Women. The basic ICPD definition reads:
"Reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being in all matters relating to the reproductive system and to its functions and processes. It implies that people have the capability to reproduce and the freedom to decide if, when and how often to do so. Implicit in this is the right of men and women to be informed and to have access to safe, effective, affordable and acceptable methods of family planning of their choice…. Reproductive health care also includes sexual health, the purpose of which is the enhancement of life and personal relations."
