Beskrivning

Negotiating Sexual and Reproductive Justice: Voices from the Margins makes a significant contribution to the sparse evidence on the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women from marginalized population groups in India, told from their vantage point. An initiative of members of CommonHealth, a Coalition for Reproductive Health and Safe Abortion in India, the book contains the stories of 15 women from diverse age groups and five different social and geographic locations, describing their lived experiences and voicing their health and other concerns rooted in their economic exploitation, social exclusion, and cultural subordination. In contrast to the event-specific silos in which evidence is typically presented, the book illustrates how women’s economic, social, and interpersonal realities are intricately intertwined with their experiences of sexual and reproductive health, and their cumulative embodiment significantly impacts their physical and mental well-being.
