This publication focuses on the use of the African regional human rights system to protect reproductive and sexual health rights. The introduction reviews the merits of using a human rights approach to these issues and discusses a number of specific reproductive and sexual health concerns facing African women. Part I establishes reproductive and sexual health rights within an African context. Part II provides the full text of key African human rights documents. Part III provides additional resources relevant for regional mechanisms, including resolutions from the African Commission on Human and People's Rights and documents from international bodies and conferences. Part IV contains an extensive annotated bibliography with listings specifically focused on both reproductive and sexual health rights in African and general human rights under international law.
