Why do so many women still die in pregnancy or childbirth? WHO has summarized the lack of access and utilization of essential obstetric services as crucial factor underlying maternal deaths. Uptake of institutional birth or aided birth during delivery is the single most important factor in the fight against maternal mortality and morbidity. Yet, in many parts of the developing world the majority of births are still conducted at home with family members or with a traditional birth attendant. The medical causes do not seem to be the only factors that affect maternal mortality. There are various socio-cultural and psychological factors that affect maternal mortality. Maternal deaths are indicative of condition of the women in the society and have long term implication for the development of the country. In this review paper the reasons for uptake of home-delivery are discussed and there is an urgent need to be more sensitive to the psychological reasons behind their uptake of unaided delivery is stressed.Keywords
Home Birth, Unaided Delivery, Maternal Mortality, Socio-Cultural Determinants of Unaided Delivery.

Violence against women is a universal reality which cuts across cultural, religious, economic and geographical boundaries. Various forms of traditional beliefs are upheld by the human society as social ethics for controlling the sexuality and status of women. This study explored how married women perceive and accept the situations of intimate partner violence. Women from suburban background between age 18years 30 years (Mean age, 27.12 years, SD, 1-55 years) who have undergone intimate partner violence were considered for the study. The research was conducted in the natural setting of the participant. In the research, purposive sampling approach had been used and continued till sample size was met. Semi-structured interviews were conducted for eight respondents from suburban setup. Considering India's patriarchal societal culture, subjugated women and justified male violence towards women. Lack of support from family members and the fear of losing social status numbed the voices women. The current study delves into the reality of female victims of abuse who are trapped in a society where they are forced to accept violence from their partners, divorce is not a choice and where social support of women is extremely restricted.Keywords

The code red i s a bleeding woman's experience of menarche in relation to the broader cultural, religious, and societal environment reveal secrecy to be a defining feature of many lives. Celebration and rituals are unique to every society and culture. Every culture through the function to celebrate events is different but the underlying goal is the same, and the rituals are symbolic and meaningful and perform some specific purpose. A series of transition mark life of every individual from one social status to another and every culture prescribes some rites (rituals) to depict and accompany that individual in transition (Gennep,1960). The review is a peep into a world that still carries shame around women's functional, biological process and yet has a place for celebration of the bleeding goddess and women.Keywords

Living through menopause is a complex experience. Menopause marks the beginning of an infertile phase from the fertile phase. The experience of menopause influences post-menopausal women's quality of life. This study delves into the understanding of women's menopausal experience and their perception of menopausal experience. Fifteen post-menopausal women were included in the study using purposive sampling through snowball sampling in Kolkata, West Bengal. In-depth semi-structured interviews were used to delve into the understanding of a women's menopausal experience and her perception of menopausal experience. Data were analysed using thematic analysis. To describe the women's experiences and perception of menopause, the themes that emerged were health related changes, perception of menopause, change in relationships, and social support. The current study found that support from husband, and social support largely impacts this experience. According to this study, women turned to their families, and peers, for assistance with their issues. Health care professionals should therefore educate women about menopause in addition to being fully informed of its course. It is important to consider their peers' and families' contributions. It is advised that more research be done on how psychological therapies might be used to address these issues in postmenopausal women.Keywords
