NHS charging for maternity care in England
NHS charging for ‘overseas visitors’ is recognised as deterring migrants from accessing necessary health care. Even though maternity care does not have to be paid in advance, fear of four-figure bills and Home Office sanctions against people with unpaid debts has significant adverse effects on women affected. Undocumented migrant women, without the right to work or benefits, are among the most excluded and vulnerable people living in the UK today…
Migration and Social Protection
The growing scale of international migration has reshaped the debate on the social rights and social protection available to people outside their countries of origin. This book uses conceptual framewo
Safer Sex and Reproductive Choice
Positive Women: Voices and Choices was an advocacy-research project developed by the International Community of Women Living with HIV/AIDS to explore the impact of HIV/AIDS on women's sexual and reproductive lives, challenge the violation of their rights and advocate improvements in policy and services. The project in Zimbabwe, the first one in three countries, was carried out from 1998 to 2001. This article presents selected findings from the Zi…
Women, religious fundamentalism and reproductive rights
Religions have always sought to control reproduction by means of controlling women. Today we see the global growth of authoritarian religious groups and movements which are often described as 'fundamentalist'. Though originating in different religions, all seem to have as a major focus the control of women's fertility. This article explores why this should be so. Our analysis is exploratory and tentative, with the intention of raising questions a…
The politics of the new reproductive technologies
State concern over the implications of the uses of new reproductive technologies has prompted expressions of bourgeois liberal ideas on the management of reproduction, notably in Britain in the Warnock Report. There has been a strong 'naturalist' opposition to the use of the technologies from a wide range of peo ple, but dominated by a version of feminism which sees the technology as part of a continuing male conspiracy against women. A response …
Women's groups and women's subordination
Rural women in Kenya are burdened by heavy workloads, often being responsible not just for attending to domestic needs — including provision of food for their families — but having as well to work as casual labourers. They are further hampered by lack of access to income obtained from the sale of cash crops grown by the household, even though they often contribute labour to the cultivation of such crops. In these and other ways they suffer the im…
The financial viability of rural primary health care centers
Primary health care centers have been proposed to meet the health care needs of rural America. Some centers become financially "self-sufficient", receiving their entire budgets from direct patient or third-party payments; others shut down when external funding is withdrawn. An explanation for this difference is important, because funding agencies may not wish to subsidize centers whose financial futures appear bleak. This study identifies the cor…
Custom and capitalism
Customary land tenure rules in Tanzania are incompatible with conditions of land shortage arising from agricultural development within an individual and incipiently capitalist framework. They are not equipped to deal with market land values, nor with individual demands which do not rest on a wider set of social obligations. Gross inequalities in land ownership are growing without controls because government policy has caused customary law to be r…
