PERALTA-JIMENEZ, Jonathan A.  and  URREGO-MENDOZA, Zulma C.. Sexual and reproductive health in women victims of the armed conflict. Rev. salud pública [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.4, pp.468-474.  Epub Oct 05, 2020. ISSN 0124-0064.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rsap.v22n4.88576.

Objetive

Show the main conditions in sexual and reproductive health in women victims of the conflicts and armed post-conflicts.

Methodology

An scoping systematic review was conducted, about literature in English, Spanish, and Portuguese languages, between 2000 to the present, in PubMED, EMBASE, Google Scholar, LILACS, IBECS, SciELO and was consulted key informants.

Results

Other important effects derive from an increase in the rate of pregnancies and marriages. In Colombia the situation is similar: the areas with the greatest impact due to conflict have a higher fertility rate, poor access to obstetric care, and poor knowledge of STIs.
