Failure to access reproductive health care is a threat to the security of women around the world. This article offers three propositions to recognize reproductive health as a matter of international peace and security. The first is to recognize current processes of advancement and backlash politics as a silent security dilemma that undermines rights, justice, and public health based approaches to reproductive health. The second is to draw on the human security origins of global health security to reorient the concept away from protecting states to protecting individuals. Finally, a feminist approach to security is incomplete without recognising reproductive health as a threat to women's security and as a barrier to their participation in international peace and security processes. Reproductive health is central to effective peacebuilding yet remains curiously absent from the international peace and security discourse. We discuss how and why reproductive security should become integrated within the Women, Peace, and Security (WPS) agenda in order to hold states to account for reproductive health access. Reproductive security defines the urgency and threat of restricted reproductive health care to the lives of women, health-care providers, and sustained international peace and security.

确保生殖健康：国际和平与安全的问题

无法获得生殖保健服务是对全世界妇女安全的威胁。本文提出了三个主张，将生殖健康视为国际和平与安全问题。首先是要认识到当前的进步和反弹政治进程是一种无声的安全困境，它破坏了基于权利，正义和基于公共卫生的生殖健康方法。第二个是利用全球健康安全的人类安全渊源，将概念重新定位，从保护国家转向保护个人。最后，在没有认识到生殖健康是对妇女安全的威胁以及对妇女参与国际和平与安全进程的障碍的情况下，女权主义的安全方法是不完整的。生殖健康对于有效建设和平至关重要，但奇怪的是，国际和平与安全论断仍然没有。我们讨论了如何以及为什么将生殖安全纳入妇女，和平与安全（WPS）议程，以促使各国对生殖健康的获取负责。生殖安全定义了对妇女，卫生保健提供者的生命以及持续的国际和平与安全的严格生殖保健的紧迫性和威胁。
