This South Asian edition of Our Bodies, Ourselves retains the basic structure and content of the original, but contains updated and contextual information relevant to women in this region. Specific sections of the text have been amended for the Indian and South Asian readers. This book seeks to introduce some key ideas into the public discourse on women`s health. Women comprise the largest segment of health workers, health consumers, and health decision-makers for their families and communities, but are under-represented in positions of influence and policy-making. By making our women readers and users of this book into well-informed health consumers, we hope that they can become catalysts for social change.
