Direitos reprodutivos, políticas de saúde e gênero

Este artigo trata do debate dos direitos reprodutivos na sociedade brasileira, suas peculiaridades, avanços e contradições, diante de três problemas atuais das mulheres brasileiras: a esterilização feminina; a prática ilegal do aborto e o incremento das novas tecnologias conceptivas. Evidencia que a prática generalizada da esterilização feminina, a alta ocorrência de abortos clandestinos no Brasil e o incremento das Novas Tecnologias Conceptivas colocam em risco a saúde das mulheres e são reveladores da ausência de uma política de saúde reprodutiva e da presença de uma política de controle demográfico no país. Aponta para os diversos rumos que esse debate tomou na última década, ressaltando a necessidade de recuperar seu compromisso histórico contra políticas demográficas e de saúde intervencionistas.

Seeking to differentiate between citizenship as political emancipation and human emancipation, was placed the imperative to take the citizenship as a mediator and not as an endpoint in order to equip a culture of struggle for a classless society without exploitation of man by man
