These words reflect the zeal of the centre to identify the rapidly changing society that is increasingly caught up in a lived experience of ambiguity, volatility, insecurity, and struggle that women face while making her choices. Undoubtedly, issues such as gender inequality, violence and discrimination against women are gaining impetus in the present scenario but issues pertaining to her reproductive rights are equally vital. Contemporary change and continued redisposition of society have expanded the range of disparities. It has led to a significantly more complex ground of inequality, assertions, and resistance by women across several new platforms. Albeit, a lot has been written and discussed on the issue of reproductive rights of women, yet it continues to be confusing. It has fore grounded the need to search through the mounting complexities of the day-to-day experiences, issues, and incidents for the structural underpinnings of contemporary inequalities and the violence it generates. Tough times call for renewed efforts to engage with both accumulated experience and new thinking around the key elements of the contemporary condition if we are to effectively challenge the structures central to inequalities of gender, caste, class, and community. The recurrent practices of \u2018dishonoring\u2019 women in the name of community honor, and the virulent attacks on her reproductive rights, do indeed appear to share features in common with sex-selective abortion, albeit on a stridently personal front. Women\u2019s reproductive rights studies have, from its inception, been committed to restore her dignity and existence as a basic condition for progression towards equality and emancipation. The adverse effects of the global status of women\u2019s and girls\u2019 sexual and reproductive health and rights are disturbing. The contemporary articulations of women\u2019s rights from the ability to access comprehensive sexuality education, control her own body, and access the health services she needs regardless of her sexuality, where she lives, her income level, or her ethnicity is a fundamental right., are all important issues before this Webinar on Reproductive Rights of Women in the Changing World: Expressing Autonomy of Choice. It will provide a platform to discuss, document, debate, and develop collective thinking and strategizing on all these issues to face the challenges ahead. This deliberation brings to fore various new issues concomitant with recent experiences. Unfortunately, women in the outer world undergo endless ordeals and humiliation to seek her right, choice as to when to become a mother, and how to become one. The enduring question of reproduction as the right of women has evoked renewed interest with the increased pressure on the state to identify the problems and seek its redressal. In this webinar, our focus is therefore on the nature of change in the protection regime for safeguarding the reproductive rights of women in India.<\/p>\n
