Book Extract : Misuse of reproductive technologies – The making of the PCPNDT act
IT was in 1975 with the
Report of the Committee on the Status of Women in India (CSWI), ‘Towards
Equality,’ that the issue of declining sex ratio as an indicator of the status of women
was brought into the public discourse. Mazumdar, the main architect of the
report, points out, ‘For the Committee on the Status of Women in India, the
declining sex ratio was both a discovery and the most convincing measure to
provide body and substance to its grim findings’.
