Violations of Reproductive Rights during hospital births in Mexico.
Health and Human Rights, 2003Co-Authors: Roberto Castro, Joaquina ErvitiAbstract:Denouncing all types of violations of womens human Rights that occur in health care institutions is clearly indispensable for achieving gender equity. But complaints and legal actions alone cannot bring about change. A sociological study of the mechanism that operate between health care providers and their patients and how they contribute to violations of Rights is also necessary. Additionally patterns of interaction and communication as well as submission strategies that characterize physician-patient encounters must be explored. The physician-patient relationship plays a central role in what we call "violations of Reproductive Rights during birth." This article is based on a research project whose general objective has been to identify and examine physical and psychological aspects of abuse that women have suffered. Characterizing dimensions of abuse can help to identify violations of Reproductive Rights and formulate interventions that may diminish the problem and help to empower women to defend and protect their Reproductive Rights.

Reproductive Rights approach to Reproductive health in developing countries
Global health action, 2011Co-Authors: Vijayan K. Pillai, Rashmi GuptaAbstract:Background: Research on Reproductive health in developing countries focuses mostly on the role of economic development on various components of Reproductive health. Cross-sectional and empirical research studies in particular on the effects of non-economic factors such as Reproductive Rights remain few and far between. Objective: This study investigates the influence of two components of an empowerment strategy, gender equality, and Reproductive Rights on women’s Reproductive health in developing countries. The empowerment strategy for improving Reproductive health is theoretically situated on a number of background factors such as economic and social development. Design: Cross-national socioeconomic and demographic data from a number of international organizations on 142 developing countries are used to test a model of Reproductive Rights and Reproductive health. Results: The findings suggest that both economic and democratic development have significant positive effects on levels of gender equality. The level of social development plays a prominent role in promoting Reproductive Rights. It is found that Reproductive Rights channel the influences of social structural factors and gender equality on Reproductive health. Keywords: globalization; Reproductive Rights; gender equality; Reproductive health; millennium development goals; social development; abortion Rights; developing countries (Published: 14 December 2011) Citation: Global Health Action 2011, 4 : 8423 - DOI: 10.3402/gha.v4i0.8423

Social Indicators Research, 2001Co-Authors: Guang-zhen Wang, Vijayan K. PillaiAbstract:This study attempts to develop measurement scales for women'sReproductive health and Reproductive Rights by using data from125 developing countries. Data were obtained from varioussources, such as the United Nations and the World Bank. Existing studies on women's Reproductive Rights suggest atwo-factor model. Women's Reproductive health is viewed as beingunidimensional. These proposed attributes are evaluated usingconfirmatory factor analysis. Results indicate the presence oftwo sub-dimensions related to women's Reproductive Rights. Aone-dimension model of women's Reproductive health is empiricallysupported. Validity and reliability of the scales are assessed.Limitations of the measurement scales are discussed.

Women’s Reproductive Rights and social equality in developing countries
The Social Science Journal, 1999Co-Authors: Vijayan K. Pillai, Guang-zhen WangAbstract:Abstract The paper presents a cross-national analysis of the relationship between levels of Reproductive Rights and social equality in developing countries. One hundred and one developing countries identified by the World Bank are used. We find that high levels of social equality are associated with high levels of marital Rights. However, the relationship between levels of social equality and legal abortion right is weak and insignificant. The interrelations among women’s Reproductive Rights, social equality, and religious forces are analyzed.

Women's Reproductive Rights, Modernization, and Family Planning Programs in Developing Countries: : A Causal Model
International Journal of Comparative Sociology, 1999Co-Authors: Vijayan K. Pillai, Guang-zhen WangAbstract:Ongoing debates on women's Reproductive Rights in world conferences and conventions have heightened the need for empirical research and theoretical explanations of women's Reproductive Rights. The study examines the effects of family planning programs and the processes of modernization on women's Reproductive Rights. The study involves 101 developing countries. Using linear structural equation analysis, the study finds that family planning programs reduce population growth. However, population decline does not influence women's Reproductive Rights. The most important determinant of Reproductive Rights is gender equality. Socioeconomic development has a positive effect on women's educational attainment, but is negatively related to gender equality. The direct effect of women's education on Reproductive Rights is negative. Theoretical and policy implications of the findings are presented.
