Description
This book highlights the need for an approach to population control which is based on reproductive rights, and stresses the importance of offering family-planning services and information in the context of women's empowerment. Issues covered are new contraceptive technologies; unsafe abortion and its cost in terms of women's lives and health; the cultural norms underlying attitudes to women's sexuality; and rape as an assertation of male power.
