Introduction:
Men's decisions regarding family planning and reproductive health are as crucial as women's especially in societies where patriarchal norms are strong, such as among Afghan communities. In this context, there is a need for studies on the opinions and experiences of Afghan men who have immigrated to Türkiye regarding family planning.
Method:
The study employed a phenomenological design and involved 20 Afghan refugee men. Data collection was performed through in-depth, semi-structured interviews.
Results:
Three main themes and their subthemes emerged from interviews: reproductive health and gender equity, enhancing family planning understanding, and navigating complex realities of family planning.
Discussion:
The influence of cultural and religious teachings on Afghan men's reproductive choices is evident, shaping their perceptions of familial and social responsibilities. The study offers evidence that the social norms of host countries may influence Afghan men's attitudes toward reproductive health and family planning.
