This book was released on 2012 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The socially defined gender roles of men and women gauge the power balance between the two sexes. In developing countries most communities afford inferior positions to women. In effect women are either under collective decision-making with their partners or completely rely on the male partner's decision on issues that affect their reproductive live. Hence identifying the major barriers of married women's decision-making power on contraceptive use and exploring the effect of women's socio-economic and decision-making status on couple's contraceptive behavior has significance for planning contextually appropriate family planning interventions. Community based comparative cross-sectional study design with both quantitative and Qualitative data collection technique has been employed from March to April 2010 in Tercha town and the surrounding communities of Dawro zone, SNNPR. The respondents are married women's with in child bearing age group who were identified by using prior census and sampled accordingly.

This book was released on 2019-01-22 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master's Thesis from the year 2015 in the subject Theology - Miscellaneous, grade: 3.0, , language: English, abstract: Family planning is a means to control and decide the size of the family and spacing of children by using different methods. Addressing family health issues in the church allows the church to meet the needs of its members holistically. In Ethiopia the prevalence of family planning has 34% increase within the past 14 years. Church based cross-sectional study conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning among married evangelical women in selected evangelical churches and the views of the church leaders in Gulele sub-city, Addis Ababa with the objectives to evaluate the knowledge, attitude and practice of family planning among evangelical married women and to understand/ describe the influence of the church doctrine/ teachings on marriage in shaping the views and usage of family planning services by the members. All of the married women are aware of family planning, the majority, that is, 64 (39.0%) responded they do not know what the Bible says about family planning, 109 (66.5%) answered that using contraceptives is not sin whereas51 (31.1%) affirmed its sinfulness. 127 (77.4%) replied health related issues like family planning must be included in the church. Out of the 164 respondents only 117 (71.3%) have ever used family planning methods. The different denominations in the study show more of a similar attitude towards family planning regardless of some doctrinal differences among them. All of the leaders agree on the need of planning in order to keep the wellbeing of the family. Family issues like family health are not as such given due attention in the six evangelical denominations. There is an overall awareness and positive attitude of family planning by the married women and the church leaders. However, the perception of the leaders about contraceptives is rather shallow.
Download or read book Understanding Intimate Partner Violence and Associated Challenges to Family Planning Among Married Women in Maharashtra India written by Anindita Dasgupta and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Background: Social practices around marital sex and family planning in Indian societies often result in gendered inequities within households, such as husbands' elevated alcohol use, poor gender equity ideologies, and wives' intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization from husbands. The resulting power imbalance women face may contribute to challenges in contraception use and exclude wives from pregnancy decision-making. Objective: To explore gendered inequities in relation to reproductive health outcomes of modern spacing contraception, and unintended pregnancy in Maharashtra, India. Methods: This analysis includes data from rural, non-sterilized, couples (N=1,081) (Chapters 2-3), and postpartum (≤6 months) wives in urban slums (N=1,047) (Chapter 4). Associations were tested between 1) husbands' elevated alcohol use, and gender equity ideologies with wives' IPV victimization via logistic regression (Chapter 2), 2) wives' IPV victimization with use of modern spacing contraception via multinomial regression (Chapter 3), and 3) wives' reports of externally-decided pregnancy and IPV victimization with unintended pregnancy, through multinomial logistic regression (Chapter 4). Results: Chapter 2 findings indicate that wives were less likely to report IPV if husbands reported greater gender equity ideologies (AOR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.95, 0.99); husband's elevated alcohol use was associated with increased risk of IPV (AOR: 1.89, 95% CI: 1.01, 3.40). Results from Chapter 3 show that women reporting physical IPV were more likely to report condom use (AOR: 2.07, 95% CI: 1.01, 3.89), and women reporting sexual IPV were more likely to report other modern spacing contraception (AOR: 2.86, 95% CI: 1.14, 7.16). Chapter 4 demonstrates that women reporting externally-decided pregnancies were more likely to have mistimed pregnancies (AOR: 6.14, 95% CI: 3.60, 10.46), as were women reporting IPV (AOR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.38, 3.25). Conclusion: This dissertation supports the need for gender equity counseling for husbands, with potential utility of integration within existing alcohol intervention services for men (Chapter 2). Results from Chapter 3 indicate that wives contending with IPV are accessing family planning services, thus presenting opportunities for IPV intervention. Finally, results from Chapter 4 support the need to include questions on wives' roles in pregnancy decision-making in both screening and intervention efforts within family planning services.
Download or read book Community Seed Banks written by Ronnie Vernooy and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Community seed banks first appeared towards the end of the 1980s, established with the support of international and national non-governmental organizations. This book is the first to provide a global review of their development and includes a wide range of case studies. Countries that pioneered various types of community seed banks include Bangladesh, Brazil, Ethiopia, India, Nepal, Nicaragua, the Philippines and Zimbabwe. In the North, a particular type of community seed bank emerged known as a seed-savers network. Such networks were first established in Australia, Canada, the UK and the USA before spreading to other countries. Over time, the number and diversity of seed banks has grown. In Nepal, for example, there are now more than 100 self-described community seed banks whose functions range from pure conservation to commercial seed production. In Brazil, community seed banks operate in various regions of the country. Surprisingly, despite 25 years of history and the rapid growth in number, organizational diversity and geographical coverage of community seed banks, recognition of their roles and contributions has remained scanty. The book reviews their history, evolution, experiences, successes and failures (and reasons why), challenges and prospects. It fills a significant gap in the literature on agricultural biodiversity and conservation, and their contribution to food sovereignty and security.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For thousands of years, Ethiopia has depended on its smallholding farmers to provide the bulk of its food needs. But now, such farmers find themselves under threat from environmental degradation, climate change and declining productivity. As a result, smallholder agriculture has increasingly become subsistence-oriented, with many of these farmers trapped in a cycle of poverty. Smallholders have long been marginalised by mainstream development policies, and only more recently has their crucial importance been recognised for addressing rural poverty through agricultural reform. This collection, written by leading Ethiopian scholars, explores the scope and impact of Ethiopia’s policy reforms over the past two decades on the smallholder sector. Focusing on the Lake Tana basin in northwestern Ethiopia, an area with untapped potential for growth, the contributors argue that any effective policy will need to go beyond agriculture to consider the role of health, nutrition and local food customs, as well as including increased safeguards for smallholder’s land rights. They in turn show that smallholders represent a vitally overlooked component of development strategy, not only in Ethiopia but across the global South.
