Few women have a say inreproductive rights: StudySANJAY BANERJEE, TNN N ov 17, 2011, 04.38A M IST
NAVI MUMBAI: Even in urbanized Navi Mumbai, the majority of women do not have a say
in deciding when to have a baby, the size of their family or the type of contraception to use. In
other words, their reproductive life is dictated by their families. These are some of the findings
of Cidco survey.
The report showed up that only 33.2% of the surveyed women decided on their reproductive
rights. "The present survey shows that about a third of women have felt they have
reproductive rights,'' the survey said. The remaining 66.8% followed the decisions made by
men on having a child, the space between two children, the use of contraceptives , and such
others.

There is a great variation across nodes as well. While 58% of women in Kharghar said they
took their own decisions , only 1% women in Dronagri replied in the affirmative.
Approximately 48% women in Jui Kamothe took their own decisions, while the figure for New
Panvel was 11%. Even in Vashi-the oldest and the most urbanized centre-only 41% women
took their own decisions .
Experts said the failure to allow women to exercise their rights has led to a poor child sex ratio
as well. A Cidco official blamed the lower ratio on test centres that have come up as part of
urbanization . Gynaecologists such as Dr Uday Thanawalla attributed the bias to the
"ingrained conditioning that one should have a male child" .
The 2011 national population census has said that in the case of Thane district, the urban child
sex ratio for females has fallen from 915 (2001 census) to 905, and for rural areas, from 966 to
953. In case of Raigad district, the ratio in urban areas has fallen from 914 to 903, and in rural
areas, from 946 to 937. While Airoli to Belapur in Navi Mumbai come under Thane district,
Kharghar, Panvel and Dronagri are under Raigad district.
The Cidco survey said, "The ability of women to control their own fertility is absolutely
fundamental to women's empowerment and equality. When a woman can plan her family,
she can plan the rest of her life. When she is healthy, she can be more productive. And when
her reproductive rights-including the right to decide the number , timing and spacing of her
children, and to make decisions regarding reproduction free of discrimination, coercion and
violence-are promoted and protected, she has the freedom to participate fully and equally in
society."
The survey also states that 29-30 % of working women have a say in their reproductive rights.

What can we do to help? Can we donate towards shelters, so that women fed up with their lot can vote with theirfeet? Maybe if cruel husbands find their wives walking out en masse, they'll have to reform or be left on their
lonesome.
