Put women in charge

The 137 women who were herded into derelict healthcare facilities were given a choice: more babies or sterilization. It was really no choice, but, as always, they took what they could get.

If you are a woman in a remote village in Bilaspur, in the largely rural state of Chhattisgarh, chances are you are far removed from a world full of modern options in contraception that allow you to space out babies. You are also taught early in life not to say no and to accept the decisions taken on your behalf — even if they are about your own. . .
