The last three decades have witnessed campaigns in India by the women’s health movement against provider-controlled contraceptives, i.e., long-acting contraceptives, non-surgical sterilisation and anti-fertility vaccines. These campaigns are examined to understand and analyse the engagement of women’s groups with contraceptive technology in opposing the entry of these contraceptives into the Family Planning Programme ( FPP ) of the country. The rise of social movements challenging scientific knowledge and scientific institutions is attributed to the “scientisation” of politics; however, we argue that the politicisation of contraceptive technology and its research was the result of women’s collective action in India. The paper explores collective action strategies and intersecting frames of overpopulation, development and technology used by women’s groups to consistently oppose the provider-controlled contraceptives from entering the FPP of the country. The paper uses the internal documents of women’s organisations, media reports and personal interviews to explore the engagement of women’s collective action with contraceptive technologies.

“拯救了一代人”

过去三十年来,印度妇女健康运动反对提供者控制的避孕药具,即长效避孕药具、非手术绝育和抗生育疫苗。审查这些运动是为了了解和分析妇女团体在反对将这些避孕药具纳入该国的计划生育计划 (FPP) 中使用避孕技术的情况。挑战科学知识和科学机构的社会运动的兴起归因于政治的“科学化”;然而,我们认为避孕技术及其研究的政治化是印度妇女集体行动的结果。该论文探讨了集体行动策略和人口过剩的交叉框架,妇女团体使用的发展和技术始终反对供应商控制的避孕药具进入该国的 FPP。该论文利用妇女组织的内部文件、媒体报道和个人采访来探讨妇女集体行动对避孕技术的参与。
