Lisääntymisensekä

Lisääntymisensekä is a Finnish term that translates to "reproductive health" or "reproductive well-being." It encompasses a broad range of physical, mental, and social aspects related to reproduction. This includes access to information about sexual health, family planning services, contraception, safe and healthy pregnancies, and childbirth. It also addresses the prevention and treatment of sexually transmitted infections and infertility. Furthermore, lisääntymisensekä is concerned with ensuring individuals have the autonomy and freedom to make informed decisions about their reproductive lives, free from discrimination, coercion, or violence. It emphasizes the right to a satisfying and safe sex life, as well as the ability to reproduce and to choose whether, when, and how often to do so. The concept is often discussed in the context of public health policies, healthcare services, and human rights. In Finland, promoting lisääntymisensekä is a key objective of the national health strategy, aiming to ensure all individuals can access the necessary resources and support for their reproductive well-being throughout their lives. This holistic approach recognizes that reproductive health is fundamental to overall health and quality of life.
