Abstract

Health is a major issue in the women's movement, along with the struggle for justice, dignity and equality. The declining sex ratio, the violence on women, the introduction of invasive contraceptive technologies the selective abortion of female foetuses and the population control policy of the government have generated debates and campaigns in the women's movement in India.
