FGFWs use antibiotic selfmedication because of many factors influences them: firstly, antibiotic drugs are seem as medicine for a large group of illnesses. Secondly, it is easy to buy medicine from drug a store. Thirdly, although RTI symptoms were not serious, the causes of RTIs were perceived as related to being a bad girl so individuals felt shy about having gynecological examination. Lastly, they felt stigmatization and discrimination from health care providers. This study recommends that drug seller should be trained in RTI symdromic approach. The findings pointed out that the majority of FGFWs prefer buying medicine at a drug store.

This is because FGFWs are treated by doctors as an object and not as a human being with equal rights. Also health staff should produce IEC material regarding RTI and consequences of wrong use of antibiotics for FGFWs. Donner agencies who work with factories should select a peer health educator in the factory. The peer health educator should be trained in health.
