SamenvattingAbout 250 million people world-wide have hearing-impairments and four million of them are Vietnamese. The hearing-impaired people in Vietnam are some of the most disadvantaged individuals in society and their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) needs have long been neglected. Currently, there is no official data on their SRH problems. The combination of social discrimination against these people and the precariousness of essential social and health services, however, means that hearing-impaired people are often more vulnerable to SRH problems such as unplanned pregnancies, sexually-transmitted infections (STIs) and sexual abuse, than others. SRH education is therefore an important means to addressing these problems.
