context to sexual and reproductive health
While the Republic is concerned about this catastrophic event, the current US government has had a significant impact on global health since taking office in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRGR). According to information from Global Health Hub the United Nations (UNFPA) population fund under the Trump government reduced $ 70 million. In the meantime, the international community is concerned about the consequences of the interruptions caused by such political decisions, which already led to a critical scarcity of HIV medication in countries like Kenya.
Angela Bähr from the German Foundation World Population expressed that partner organizations in Kenya, through the 90-day funding stop, which could also endanger access to life-saving HIV treatments, have become serious difficulties. These measures contribute to the difficulty of medical care in crisis situations and illustrate the need to continuously access health services.
Such developments offer a disturbing context for the explosion in Palm Springs, which once more shows how crisis centers are the debates about sexual and reproductive health rights.
