dc.description.abstractThis study aims to analyze if there are human rights violations regarding reproductive healthcare in rural, remote, and northern Manitoba, focusing on STBBIs, contraception, maternity care, and abortion. No similar research applies international human rights treaties to reproductive healthcare in rural Manitoba. There is minimal research on reproductive healthcare in the region. Chapter one focuses on Canada’s human rights obligations based on international human rights treaties. Chapter two maps out what reproductive healthcare is available in the region. Chapter three analyses how reproductive healthcare in Manitoba meets and does not meet Canada’s international human rights obligations. Chapter four makes recommendations. The respect, protect, fulfil framework, is used to analyze if there are human rights violations occurring in Manitoba in relation to reproductive healthcare. The research includes a scoping review. An analysis if the reproductive care provided in rural, remote, and northern Manitoba amounts to a human rights violation is complex. Rural, remote, and northern Manitoba is vast geographically. The research found limited or no violations in obligations related to STBBIs and contraceptives. Concerningly, there were many violations in relation to obligations surrounding care for pregnancy, including abortion and maternity care, specifically around prenatal care and the birth evacuation policy.
