2006
In 2006, DAWN launches Interlinking Policy, Politics and Women’s Reproductive Rights, a comprehensive global policy research initiative on health sector reform, maternal mortality, and abortion, coordinated by Sonia Corrêa and conducted across twelve countries of the global South.
Building on DAWN’s longstanding engagement with the 1994 ICPD Cairo agenda, the report offers critical insights into the political and structural barriers that obstruct reproductive justice. By combining global policy analysis with national-level case studies, it highlights how intersecting forces—ranging from neoliberal health reforms to religious conservatism—continue to constrain women’s autonomy, while also identifying enabling conditions that have advanced implementation in specific contexts.
