[JURIST] Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte [BBC profile] signed [press release] an executive order Wednesday advocating for reproductive health measures in the country. The order [text, PDF] is entitled "Attaining and Sustaining Zero Unmet Need for Modern Family Planning Through the Strict Implementation of the Responsible Parenthood and Reproductive Health Act, Providing Funds Therefor and for Other Purposes." The aim of the act is to allow women greater access to contraceptives and other health measures, which will grant them better control over their reproductive health and family size.
