42. The Committee is concerned about the limited sexual reproductive health education, services and rights available to women and girls with disabilities on account of the ineffective implementation of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Reproductive Health Law). It is also concerned about the prejudice and discrimination of families, service providers and the wider public that prevent women and girls from accessing health care.

43. The Committee recommends that the State party:

(a) Ensure women, girls and persons with psychosocial disabilities comprehensive access to sexual reproductive health and community-based rehabilitation services for rural and remote areas without having to endure the prejudices of others;

(b) Increase health-care professionals’ training on the provision of sexual and reproductive health-care education and services to women, girls and persons with psychosocial disabilities, and their sensitization during the provision of such, in accordance with the Convention;

(c) Strengthen training for all regional health workers nationwide by reactivating the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act of 2012 (Reproductive Health Law)
