Information Management
CHSJ has adopted information dissemination as an effective strategy to reach out to a larger audience. The Centre believes that information being the key interface between organization and the public sphere facilitates pro-active interaction by raising awareness, creating a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences, generating consensus, receiving feedback on its initiatives that would ultimately influence its course of action. The following protocols have been laid down to ensure effective dissemination of information.
CHSJ Website
CHSJ has developed a website that describes its initiatives on the basis of three main thematic areas and two strategic interventions. It also includes a large number of news, articles, discussions and other resources linked to public health, human rights, national and international policies.
ReproHealth Listserv
CHSJ moderates an active listserve called Reprohealth_India which includes over 600 members belonging to NGOs, academia, international organizations as well as the government. Discussions on population policy issues, rights denial of women seeking maternal health services, reducing access to safe abortion services because of confusion with sex pre-selection and abortion etc. have taken place within this group.
