Abstract

Reproductive function is constructed by the community as the responsibility of women, with their given sex. In fact, they must bear the consequence of violations of sexual behavior. This paper reveals the sexual and social risks faced by young women related to reproductive health in Bandung City. Using a qualitative descriptive paradigm with case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews and documentation studies. The informants were drawn from Indonesian Family Planning Association (PKBI) in West Java, Indonesia. The results show the risk of sexual vulnerability such as unwanted pregnancy or abortion is clearly only experienced by young women. Shame, and socially negative stigma become a heavy burden that must be experienced by young women. Health communication intervention is carried out through multi-level communication where group and mass communication are used for socialization and education of reproductive health. Interpersonal communication is used in the context of prevention and assistance in cases of reproductive health.
