are beneficiaries of the national conditional cash transfer program, are also compelled to have  67 facility-assisted births otherwise they would not receive their cash grants.     On the other hand, lack of information on reproductive health and the RH law can also create a  barrier between the women and their rights. In the case of Muslim and IP women, they may  construe the some of the provisions of the RH law to be against their cultural beliefs and practices,  thus will not avail of the RH programs and services. For example, despite the ​fatwa​ on the  acceptability of RH in Islam, many Muslim women are still reluctant or unwilling to learn more  about RH. This was also observed among some IP women despite their elders claiming that the law  is not against their culture. There are also Catholic women who cite religious beliefs as reasons to  shun certain reproductive health and rights messages and services, and even actively oppose them  for their communities.     Men are also excluded in the process when reproductive health and rights are put across as a  women-only issue. Traditional constructions of gender roles and sexuality, wherein women  subsumed under the care of their fathers and husbands, are likely to continue when men are not  engaged in the discussion. Specific concerns related to this are the issues on requiring male spousal  consent on accessing RH services, abuse of women in the context of intimate relationships, and  equal decision-making on all matters regarding the family.    The RH law stipulates that there should be age- and development-appropriate sexuality and  68 reproductive health education in all Department of Education (DepEd) supervised schools, yet the  extent that this has been implemented is yet to be documented. Under the law, the DepEd shall also  69 provide a template curriculum to be used by public schools and may be adopted by private schools.      The CHR also noted that other RH information is often not included in information, education and  communication programs and activities on the same. These include topics such as violence against  women and its remedies, HIV/AIDS, mental health and RH concerns of marginalized groups such  as older women, LBTs (lesbians, bisexuals and transgenders), women living with HIV/AIDS and  women with disabilities.    Lack of Infrastructure and Trained Personnel Support     The state of the health care system in the country had been presented earlier, that is, it suffers from  lack of facilities and personnel to achieve its targets including those related to maternal mortality and  reproductive health in general. Displacement due to disasters, including from natural hazards,  development aggression and armed conflicts are situations where the breakdown of RH service  delivery is more evident, because of the destruction of facilities, increase in the geographic distance  to reach the IDP (internally displaced people) communities or for people from these communities to  reach health facilities, or low prioritization and outright neglect of the RH needs of women in these  situations. Deployment of health workers to serve in conflict areas is also a major factor in this gap.  67 IBON (2016).  Section 14, RA 10354.   69 Ibid.  68 23 RH Situationer: Phlippines (November 2017)
