Themes

Our activities are divided into the following four broad thematic areas:

Reproductive and Sexual Health and Rights -CHSJ focuses on Reproductive and Sexual Rights of women from marginalized communities with regard to maternal health and rights, right to safe abortion, counter effects of coercive population policies and informed choice in contraception and quality of care in family planning programmes. All these issues raise concern of rights violation and mechanisms to strengthen processes of rights claiming and advocacy around them.

Health Rights and Marginalized Groups -CHSJ adopts a right based approach to target the existing disparities between populations, in the allocation of health care resources. The delivery of health resources has by far been traditional with the provider and the beneficiary being the two ends of the process. But CHSJ intervention facilitates the inclusion of the beneficiary also within the allocation process.

Men and Gender Equality - CHSJ offers to engage men in dismantling patriarchy and achieving a balanced, equitable relationship between women and men. Gender equality is a distant dream without men being an active part of its process. This fact is being unfolded through innovative strategies undertaken by the institution to include initiatives of men in achieving an engendered social setup.

Community Action for Health Rights - This theme emerged as a result of systematic efforts for two years of community monitoring process that was carried out across nine states of India. We understand community action as periodic surveys and studies, community based monitoring of health services and community ownership within accountability framework.
