Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health Recognition Equity and AANHPI

<p><a><i>Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health</i></a> addresses the sexual and reproductive health needs of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander (AANHPI) women from a structural and intersectional perspective.</p><p>AANHPI women in the United States have often been grouped together due to their race and gender, regardless of their specific communities’ diverse histories with the United States and different educational and economic opportunities. The authors argue that AANHPI women are misunderstood by health professionals and researchers, and foregrounds AANHPI women’s experiences to demonstrate the challenges they face when seeking health care. The book highlights the diversity of AANHPI women by drawing on their first-hand experiences, and argues for the disaggregation of health data on AANHPI women.</p><p><i>Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health</i> is of value to college classrooms that address racial disparities, health disparities, and women’s experiences, as well as for health care professionals.</p>
