Health care support by husband for their wives

May 21, 2008

Dear FORUM,

Sorry to comment in a very rude way. I watch women coming to us from UP and

Bihar for delivery and gynaecological problems. I watched that women are used

for pleasure and child producing machine.

There is no concept of health care by husband for wives. Unless women activist

raise voice no change can occur, Do not keep more hopes from CM Mayawati or

Nitish kumar

Dear FORUM,

I think this is the fact. And, this is the problem not only limited for Bihar

and UP but also in the interiors of Maharashtra where there's lack of education.

Here in the villages, where I'm working; most of the men are working in metros

like Pune or Mumbai for their livelyhood. They come back to their native places

once in 2-3 months. While in cities, many of them are visiting CSWs and are

infected with HIV. From them their wives are getting infected and even some

children. They are not even aware of the condition they are suffering from.

It is time to educate them and let them have more options for treatment and

contraception. Let them know that they can choose wheather to bear the child or

not.

I am really surprised to see the level of unawareness on these issues in spite

of so many govt programs and campaigns.

NGOs please come forward... Let us work on grass root level..
