PIP: The International Planned Parenthood Federation's (IPPF) Arab World Regional Bureau has urged its member associations to adopt the concept of responsible parenthood as a basic premise for effective reproductive and sexual health programs. To that end, the associations are encouraged to develop programs and activities which support the principles of the responsible parenthood concept. The 3-year plans of regional family planning associations include programs designed to deepen the level of men's awareness on family planning and sexual and reproductive health issues and encourage male participation in the implementation of programs. The author explains how The Arab man believes that family planning and reproductive health issues lie exclusively in the woman's domain and notes differences between countries with regard to men's knowledge, attitude, and practice in reproductive and sexual health, family planning, and gender issues; and the central elements of the male-oriented projects.
