Klappentext

The book offers readers a nuanced understanding of sexual and reproductive rights, health status, associated concerns and policy critiques within the context of South Asia. While sexual and reproductive health issues are prevalent worldwide, the severity and underlying drivers vary across regions. South Asia, identified as a hotspot for vulnerability in sexual and reproductive health, currently lacks comprehensive coverage of existing global perspectives on the subject.

Intended as a comprehensive guide to understanding the sexual and reproductive health complexities, reproductive morbidity and multifaceted health policies of women in South Asia, this book will examine menstrual health as well as changing fertility behaviours among women. It will provide in-depth case studies on demand family planning, birth control and pressing issues of women's health perspectives. The book highlights the wide range of sexual and reproductive health morbidities, including maternal health complications, eclamptic maternal death, sexually transmitted diseases, infected diseases and health disparity among reproductive women. Adopting advanced quantitative techniques in the social sciences and GIS modeling, this book offers a unique and insightful look at women's reproductive health and its implications for shaping health policies.
