A Framework of Indicators for Action on Women’s Health Needs & Rights After Beijing (2000)

This publication was developed as a tool for all government, non-government and international organisations to use in monitoring implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action. The 30-page framework presents selected Beijing recommendations on women’s health and rights, sexual and reproductive health, violence against women and gender-sensitive health programmes, which are then operationalised into quantitative and qualitative indicators. These can be measured to assess progress, particularly in women’s health status; health service provision, use and quality; and national laws, policies and plans.

The framework has been used as a guide to prioritise areas for monitoring during ARROW’s Regional Policy Dialogue on Women’s Health Rights (1998), technical training workshops and other activities around the South East Asia region and globally. Although an independent publication, the Framework is also seen as an additional tool for ARROW’s resource kit, Women-centred and Gender-sensitive Experiences: Changing Our Perspectives, Policies and Programmes on Women’s Health in Asia and the Pacific (1996).
