Infertility and male-perpetrated intimate partner violence against HIV-negative women in low- and middle-income countries
Male-perpetrated intimate partner violence (IPV) against women is a global crisis, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) due to restrictive gender norms. Stigma against infertility and childlessness could increase women's vulnerability to IPV. This study analyzed data from the Demographic Health Survey, including 93,734 ever-in-union, HIV-negative women aged 20-49 years across 16 LMICs. Logistic regressions, adjusted for survey…
Towards improved menstrual health
We examine the impact of usage of period products and reproductive tract infections (RTI) utilizing the National Family Health Survey-5 conducted in 2019-21 for India. Exploiting the exogenous variation in the average exposure of women in neighbouring households to television, we utilize an Instrumental Variable (IV) approach to address the endogeneity concerns present in an OLS framework. Conditional on comprehensive set of controls, we find tha…
A Milestone and the Miles to Go
On January 31, 2026, the Supreme Court of India delivered a landmark judgment recognizing menstrual hygiene as a fundamental right, anchored in the constitutional framework of "substantive equality." This ruling validates years of research establishing menstrual health as a public health and human rights issue. The judgment's holistic approach—mandating not just free sanitary napkins but functional toilets, safe disposal mechanisms, MHM corners, …
The need for sex education
From sanitation to safety
The hidden burden
Negotiating Choice
This study examines how women's access to resources, power in relationships and husbands' gender role attitudes affect contraceptive decisions in India. Relational empowerment, a woman's agency within her relationship, influences the extent to which resources translate into contraceptive control. While increased resources may empower women to negotiate within their relationships, traditional gender norms can constrain their autonomy, even when th…
Bleeding at the Margins
Scheduled Caste (SC) and Scheduled Tribe (ST) women in India have relatively lower usage of period products than women of the General category. This paper attempts to understand and uncover the social factors explaining inequalities in the period product usage among these groups. This paper uses data from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5), conducted in 2019–21, for this study, with a sample of 49,136 SC, 44,392 ST, and 41,045 General cas…
Power to choose? Examining the link between contraceptive use decision and domestic violence
Navigating through menstrual health experiences of educated urban individuals who menstruate during the Covid-19 lockdown
Literature on the challenges faced by those who menstruate to maintain menstrual health and hygiene during a crisis like COVID-19 is still developing. To address this gap, we conducted an online survey to understand the experiences of those who menstruate during India’s COVID-19 national lockdown in 2020. We conducted a secondary analysis of qualitative data from a sub-sample of the 683 Indians who menstruate aged 18 to 49 years. The survey utili…
How Covid‐19 lockdown has impacted the sanitary pads distribution among adolescent girls and women in India
This paper empirically explores the impact of COVID‐19 pandemic and its accompanying lockdown on adolescent girls’ and women's access to sanitary pads in India. We have used the National Health Mission's Health Management Information System (NHM‐HMIS) data for the study, which provides data on pads' distribution on a district level. The empirical strategy used in the study exploits the variation of districts into red, orange, and green zones as a…
