Exploring Somali-born women’s experiences with contraceptive services in Sweden through a reproductive justice lens

= 60) were Somali immigrants who had given birth in Sweden. Two main themes were constructed: (1) Factors shaping reproductive choices: community, household, and partner influences, and (2) women's perspectives on contraceptive services. The findings suggest opportunities to advance reproductive justice in contraceptive services in Sweden. Incorporating women's preferences and needs is essential to establishing person-centred contraceptive services, aligning with Sweden's health system priorities. Services must adapt to and reflect clients' experiences to avoid being shaped by preconceived notions and intersecting power dynamics. Our findings have implications for moving towards reproductive justice in the delivery of sexual and reproductive health services.

Abstract

= 60) were Somali immigrants who had given birth in Sweden. Two main themes were constructed: (1) Factors shaping reproductive choices: community, household, and partner influences, and (2) women's perspectives on contraceptive services. The findings suggest opportunities to advance reproductive justice in contraceptive services in Sweden. Incorporating women's preferences and needs is essential to establishing person-centred contraceptive services, aligning with Sweden's health system priorities. Services must adapt to and reflect clients' experiences to avoid being shaped by preconceived notions and intersecting power dynamics. Our findings have implications for moving towards reproductive justice in the delivery of sexual and reproductive health services.
