‘The Pink List’ Tells You Your Lok Sabha Candidate’s Views On Queer Issues
In the last few decades, queer issues have found their way into the country’s mainstream political discourse. After years of petitioning by the LGBTQIA+ community, India’s Supreme Court struck down Section 377 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), decriminalising homosexuality last year in July. Now, as the nation’s Lok Sabha (LS) elections are in full swing, 22-year-old Anish Gawande, director of the Dara Shikoh Fellowship, 2

Barriers And Facilitators For Implementing The Who Safe Childbirth Checklist In Mozambique: A Qualitative Study Using The Consolidated Framework For Implementation Research (cfir)
High maternal and neonatal mortality rates persist in Mozambique, with the issues of stillbirth remaining understudied. Most maternal and neonatal deaths in the country are due to preventable and treatable direct childbirth-related complications that often occur in low-resource settings. The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the Safe Childbirth Checklist (SCC) in 2015 to reduce adverse birth outcomes. The SCC, a structured list of evidence-based practices, targets the main causes of mat
“So We Create Happy Synergies” How An Overall Enabling Environment Helped Lao Pdr Legislate The Who Code On Breastmilk Substitutes: Lessons Learnt
Exclusive breastfeeding rates in Lao People’s Democratic Republic (Lao PDR) remain at 44% against a global goal of at least 50%, partly due to a weak understanding of the multifactorial and multilevel determinants of breastfeeding (UNICEF, 2021). Therefore, evidence-based advocacy efforts call for a systems approach to improve the enabling environment around breastfeeding.This study aims to stitch together the comprehensive patchwork of actors and dynamic ‘gears’ in the socio-ecological environm
New YSPH grad helps refugee girls and women find their voices
The photos rested on easels around Luce Hall, taken by teenage girls and adult women who came to America from strife-torn countries – Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, and Sudan. Collectively, they told stories of arriving and finding their way in a land quite unlike their own.

Reproductive Trauma Narratives from Rural India
Manali Karmakar draws on the illness narratives of three women from rural India to showcase how caste, gender, and sociocultural and geographical location strongly shape reproductive health and well-being.
India is acknowledged as one of the few nations that has enforced the most progressive reproductive laws for promoting the holistic well-being of women. Way back in 1971, the Medical Termination of Pregnancy (MTP) Act was enacted to enable women to access safe and affordable abortion services

“It happened so suddenly that even after almost two years, I am unable to accept that he will not be coming back,” says Zia. Her husband, Dr Zia Ullah, 60, had contracted the coronavirus disease and passed away within a month. “When this happened, there was no one I could cry with or get a hug from because everyone was afraid of the virus.”

Can the Media Talk about Mental Illness with Dignity?
It’s been one year since Bollywood actor Sushant Singh Rajput died by suicide. And one year since the frenzied media coverage, trial and arrest of actor Rhea Chakrabarty and the mockery made of people with bipolar disorder, depression and mental health conditions in general. As health reporters primarily covering all things COVID-19, we had to shift gears and dive headfirst into the whole debacle. The question then became not if we talk about suicide enough (we did) but if we spoke about it well
