Reproductive Health Misinformation Highlights Need for Trustworthy Sources

Despite advancements in medicine and technology, misinformation about sexual and reproductive health continues to circulate in the Philippines. Outdated beliefs and stigma prevent many individuals from accessing accurate information or having open discussions, leaving them susceptible to misinformation and sexual health risks.

Navigating misinformation in reproductive health

Too often, individuals seek advice within social circles or turn to unverified online sources.
