The growing prevalence of the small family veers from one to three children with more families having one boy and one girl. However, study findings show that this is complemented by ‘choices’ that are heightening masculinisation and deepening an aversion towards daughters: significant numbers are having one son, two sons, two sons and daughter, but rarely “only” daughters. Any improvement in economic circumstances increases access to testing through ultrasound which enables planning and achieving the desired family. This is an exhaustive study of contributing factors in sex distribution.Item Draft ART (regulation) bill : in whose interest?; comment(Sama Resource Group for Women and Health, New Delhi, IN, 2009) Sarojini, N.B.; Sharma, AasthaWomen and health rights activists have looked forward to the drafting of this Bill in light of the unregulated practice of assisted reproductive technologies (ART) and the increasing commercialization and commodification of women’s reproductive tissues. The Bill is based on the ‘National Guidelines for Accreditation, Supervision and Regulation of ART Clinics in India’ and is a welcome and much appreciated step, but unfortunately, it carries on the vestiges of the drawbacks present in the guidelines. This article comments on the draft legislation. Although a positive step, it fails to safeguard the health of women surrogates and their children.Item Technical report : building capacity for feminist research in Africa; gender, sexuality and politics (January 2009-August 31, 2010)(African Gender Institute, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, ZA, 2010) Bennett, JaneThe objectives of the research were to stimulate African-based research on issues of sexuality and gender and to support current African research initiatives through offering opportunities to develop conceptual and methodological tools for African feminist writers and researchers.
