<p><u><strong>Definition</strong></u><br>
Extent to which countries have laws and regulations that guarantee full and equal access to women and men aged 15 years and older to sexual and reproductive health care, information and education (%).<br></p>
<p><u><strong>Method of Calculation</strong></u><br>
The indicator is a percentage (%) scale of 0 to 100 (national laws and regulations exist to guarantee full and equal access), indicating a country’s status and progress in the existence of such national laws and regulations. Indicator 5.6.2 measures only the existence of laws and regulations; it does not measure their implementation. <br><em>Calculation:</em><br> The indicator measures specific legal enablers and barriers for 13 components (maternity care, life-saving commodities, abortion, post-abortion care, contraception, consent for contraceptive services, emergency contraception, CSE law, CSE curriculum, HIV testing and counselling, HIV treatment and care, confidentiality of health status for men and women living with HIV, and HPV vaccine) across four sections (maternity care, contraception and family planning, comprehensive sexuality education and information, and HIV and HPV). The calculation of the indicator requires data for all 13 components. The 13 components are placed on the same scale, with 0% being the lowest value and 100% being the most optimal value. Each component is calculated independently and weighted equally. Value for Indicator 5.6.2 is calculated as the arithmetic mean of the 13-component data. Similarly, the value for each section is calculated as the arithmetic mean of its constituent component data.<br></p>
