But in the area of SRH, the opposite seems to be true,” says Janssen. “On the whole, when people talk about health, it is about men: research is with men, policy is about men, and women’s needs are not given priority. Therefore, with colleagues from Share-Net, created a project to engage men and boys in the conversation. Paul Janssen believes that at the moment work on gender issues are most often related to women and girls, and very little is said about the SRH needs of men and boys.
Paul Janssen, one of the authors, told aidsmap about the problems men face with SRH and what triggered the creation of this project. The Dutch Share-Net network has published a document on sexual and reproductive health (SRH) of men.
