Matter of Choice: When seeking abortion is confused for sex selection

What prevents women from seeking safe, legal abortions? Studies show that the awareness about abortion and its legality is very low among people. To add to the confusion, the implementation of the Pre-Conception and Pre-Natal Diagnostic Techniques Act, 1994 or PCPNDT Act which makes sex selection illegal gives anti-abortion messages. This is the fifth and final episode of a series Matter of Choice, a series that explores how women face medical, legal and social barriers to abortions. Suno India’s Menaka Rao spoke to Saraswati Sahu, a leader with the Chhatisgarh Mahila Mukti Morcha that works on the rights of workers, who talks about her own abortion stories and how she used to feel abortion was illegal, and that she had to undergo abortion surreptitiously. Menaka also talked to Pritam Potdar, the managing director with the Pune-based non-profit, Samyak Communication and Research Centre, which works on gender rights. Menaka also spoke to Vinoj Manning, the CEO of the international non profit Ipas Development Foundation and his colleague, Samina Parveen who works as a specialist in the research and evaluation team at IPAS which recently released a survey on the attitudes of Indians about abortion.

Punjab Reverse Migration: Reality or Hype?

Punjabis are infamous for their obsession with migrating abroad, especially to Canada. There’s a saying among diaspora Punjabis that goes, “Jitthe assi, utthe Punjab,” meaning “We create Punjab wherever we go.” But, in the recent past, a new narrative of ‘Vatan vaapsi’ or ‘Reverse Migration’ has taken hold in Punjabi media. According to podcasts and some news articles, Punjabis are sick of living abroad and are excited to return to their homeland. In this episode, Kudrat Wadhwa investigates how much truth there is to the claim that Punjabis are returning to India and why people are coming back, if they are.

Gone to the dogs: Rabies control and street dog welfare in India

Recently, a father and his son died in Visakhapatnam after their pet dog bit them. Reports say that they did not take the anti-rabies vaccine soon enough. Rabies is one of the oldest zoonotic diseases. People are often bitten by street dogs, who are present in great numbers in both cities, and villages of the country. With around 60 million free-ranging dogs, India arguably has the biggest population of street dogs in the world. Most of these dogs aren’t vaccinated against rabies. Most of the rabies cases are dog-mediated. The WHO says that low awareness of the need to seek healthcare after dog bites claims the lives of 55000 people each year globally, mostly in Asia and Africa. True burden of rabies in India is not fully known, but as per given information, it causes 18000 to 20,000 deaths each year. This episode was brilliantly reported by Mahima Jain which got a special mention at One World Media's Podcast and Radio Award in 2022. The podcast takes you through the many factors that complicate rabies control and dog welfare in India. The episode talks about: The link between street dogs and India’s struggles with rabies elimination. The kind of treatment that is effective against rabies, and how the Indian healthcare system poses a challenge in providing effective care for those who contract rabies. How India ended up with an overpopulation of street dogs Potential barriers in implementing the National Action Plan for Rabies Elimination by 2030 References Man, son die of rabies after pet dog bites them in Visakhapatnam - The Hindu Rabies as a Public Health Concern in India—A Historical Perspective Overview of Animal Laws in India Centers For Disease Control and Prevention: Global Rabies Work US National Library of Medicine: Striking back against rabies Burden of illness of dog-mediated rabies in India: A systematic review Modelling the challenges of managing free-ranging dog populations WHO Rabies: Rabies News: India sees 1.75 million dog bites every year, yet we face up to 80% shortage of anti-rabies vaccines Rabies deaths down by a third in three years in India, but snakebites continue to kill | Health - Hindustan Times In the Himalayas, growing population of feral dogs poses threat to wildlife, humans – Firstpost Over 300 dogs poisoned to death by Andhra village panchayat, alleges activist 5 doses over days, keep rabies away - The Hindu See sunoindia.in/privacy-policy for privacy information.
