There is not only a need to know the abortion charges at the various types of MTP centers, but also the household dynamics like the source of financing the abortion etc. Also, a much better regulation of private medical practitioners as well as dissemination of information to them so that women seeking an abortion are not exploited financially.

Dilaasa, India's first hospital based crisis centre was established to address Domestic Violence and provide services to women within the hospital itself. This counselling endeavour brought to light that several women admitted for "accidental consumption of poison" had essentially attempted suicide, the underlying reason being Domestic violence. In order to address this issue, the centre evolved a counselling model which was informed by feminist principles that challenged the main stream psychiatric model of labeling women as involved in "deliberate self harm" or indulging in "impulsive behaviour" but rather as a reaction to an extremely unbearable situation. This paper presents the feminist counselling methodology and illustrates it with examples from the counselling practice.

This paper addresses the issue of migration and its public health implications within the human rights framework. Migrants have always been conceptualized as problematic in the context of policies both nationally and internationally. This mindset has led to complex public health issues posed by migration. Understanding migrants' health extends to capturing the underlying determinants including adequate nutrition, housing, healthy environment, and occupational conditions, access to health related education and information as well as access to health care and education. Healthcare of migrants has suffered due to the presence of divergent models of how and when nations are responsible for the health and safety of individuals. The most important factor that separates the rights from being realized is the gross underestimation of migrants both at origin and destination. Download full report

This report is a synopsis of key findings of the study on the impact of involuntary resettlement of a slum community in Mumbai. The key findings reveal the hardships that the community has to face due to its resettlement leading to several problems such as loss of employment, poor enrolment in educational institutes due to lack of schools, health disorders – physical and mental and difficulty in accessing public health facilities and impact on women. The findings show that those resettled have very little bargaining power to influence decisions in situations of urban relocation that violate their very rights to citizenship apart from the basic rights to shelter, livelihood, education, health care and a life of dignity.

This Reader mainly looks at the Constitutional recognition and judicial pronouncements. These case law form the foundation of the right to health care and can support any further public interest litigations on various other areas of public health. The attempt has also been to demystify the laws and make the information accessible to common people , so that the judgments can be used as an effective tool for demanding the right to health care. An awareness of these judgments does not mean that they will be implemented easily, but it is certainly important for further action and the evolving of future strategies, legal or otherwise, towards realizing the right to health.
