- W2549543913 abstract "This study was designed to examine women empowerment through reproductive health care in Jere area, implication for sustainable development. Two research questions and a hypothesis was formulated for the study. A total of 200 women of childbearing age were the respondents selected by random sampling. Questionnaire was used to collect data and data was analyzed using mean rating and t-test at 0.05 level of significance. The findings include that some factors as husband’s dominance, traditional and cultural beliefs, ignorance, lack of knowledge among others which discriminate against women’s health would not allow the women to achieve a sustainable health. It was revealed that there is no difference in the discrimination against women. Finally, the study highlights some suggestions which if implemented, will help women to achieve reproductive health and participate actively in the development of the nation.

The World Bank Report (2007) stressed that “health programmes that recognize and address the health needs of women have the effect of empowering them. Empowerment within the context of health, according to Hahn and Payne (1994) is the process in which individuals or groups of people gain increasing measures of control over their health. Huston (1990) in Achunine (2009) observed that if sustainable development is indeed the challenge of international and national communities, the women and their health should be at the centre of all action strategies. Empowerment therefore can be in the form of education, political, and economic enhancement of women. Education helps in creating awareness in individuals and increases individuals’ literacy levels and skills that lead to enhanced capacity. On the other hand, political empowerment promotes effective leadership skills, involvement in decision-making processes and other political activities, while economic empowerment leads to enhanced capacity to involve in money-yielding ventures. It is this realization of the need to have women run their own lives participate in socio-economic and political agenda in their countries, that the United Nations devoted a decade (1975-1985) to issues concerning women and development.
