Even though numerous efforts may be observed by the Panamanian government to implement and defend sexual and reproductive rights, of those that have obtained clear progress with the systematic reduction in fertility, there are still obstacles and limitations in terms of their execution. The advances in this area come up against players with conflicting interests. Policies concentrating on the reduction in maternal mortality and those relating to family planning and contraceptive methods in the country have been backed by various international entities, such as the UN Population Fund and the Pan American Health Organization as well as civil and non-governmental organizations. Nevertheless, other factors which have had a negative impact on the creation of more efficient state actions include the “traditional” values of the social structures, the patriarchal culture, and the ideology promoted by the Catholic Church.
