View All Publications

Volitional sex is central to the sexual health and well-being of women and girls globally. To date, few studies have examined women's empowerment and its application to sexual health out-comes, including volitional sex. The aim of this study was to explore the relevance of a sexual and reproductive empowerment frame-work to volitional sex across four geographically and culturally diverse contexts in sub-Saharan Africa.
