Abstract People often choose to manage their sexual and reproductive health outside health facilities, sometimes using modern medicines obtained from pharmacies, drug stores, and markets. Ethnographic studies of self care practices reveal opportunities to reduce unmet needs and advance human rights based approaches to sexual and reproductive health. We highlight findings from ethnographic studies that show how healthcare professionals could better meet the priorities of women and girls for improved sexual and reproductive health.
