ISSUES
Rural women are plagued with issues such as:
Poor connectivity of villages with health centers
“हमारे गाँव की अस्पताल से दूरी होने पर समुदाय के लोग आसानी से स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी सुविधाएँ का लाभ नहीं ले पाते है” – कस्तूरिया मरकाम
Limited qualified Doctors (especially female doctors)
– महिला सम्बन्धी स्वास्थ्य समस्याओं के ईलाज के लिए महिला डॉक्टर से बात नहीं कर पाते है” – गायत्री पडवार
Poor last mile access to quality medicines and tablets
– “गाँव स्तर में अच्छा ईलाज और दवाइयों का अभाव है” – विनीता बैरागी

Agriculture being the predominant livelihood option in the region demands a lot of labor time primarily provided by women.
Continuous long working hours and insufficient nutrient intake by the women of the region result in malnourishment and create a grave cycle of malnutrition.
As per the official data around 53% women are anaemic and around 69% of children (age 6 to 60 months) are anaemic
