Reproductive health [1] practices among Muslim women in India have been little researched perhaps because of the widespread notion regarding the tight Islamic control over sexual behaviour and the sanctions against contraceptive use.

Most of us acquire knowledge regarding sex and sexuality, through various formal and informal avenues. Much of the information acquired through infornal sources is unlikely to be accurate or correct. Sex being a topic, which is not openly discussed is shrouded in secrecy.

The RUWSEC case study is useful and inspiring, for it provides in-depth information and insight into what a women-centered reproductive health approach actually means at field and organizational levels.
