Unoccupied space in knowledge of reproductive rights among academicians-a critical analysis

Gap in knowledge of reproductive rights causes the misperception and negative attitude towards women health. Diminished status regarding reproductive rights causes barrier to the development of a nation. People believe that the educational status of a person decides the knowledge of reproductive right. But in practical, the educated persons are less clear about core issues of reproductive rights. Though reproductive rights are basic human rights, its practice among women is still a question mark. Therefore education on reproductive rights is significant and needs to be addressed. The present research was carried out among 32 teachers working in different colleges in India and it was analyzed through mean, standard deviation, chi-square, ANOVA and factor analysis. The result revealed that education helps very little in gaining knowledge on reproductive rights.
