AIPMS 014 DIPLOMA IN SEXUAL AND REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
Africa Institute for Project Management Studies (AIPMS) is pleased to announce a Diploma in Sexual and Reproductive Health. The course is offered through Distance Learning. The course starts on 1st of every month.
Sexuality, Sexual, and Reproductive Health
Sexuality encompasses diverse behaviors and meanings that are shaped by individual, social, cultural, and historical factors. From the local to the global, a significant number of public health challenges involve sexual and reproductive health: HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections, unintended pregnancies, access to family planning services, sex education, maternal mortality, sexual violence, and discrimination against/stigmatization of sexually non-conforming individuals. Promoting sexual and reproductive rights and agency, as well as respect for the dignity, equality, and rights of all persons, are also public health issues.
The Diploma in Sexuality, Sexual, and Reproductive Health approaches sexual and reproductive health as states of physical, emotional, mental, and social well-being. The curriculum explores and challenges the social inequalities that have had profound effects on sexuality and health. Students can specialize as researchers or practitioners, and emerge prepared to work in agencies and organizations involved in programmatic or advocacy work, policy or evaluation research, or in direct service delivery.
