A striking feature of contemporary experience in India is the systemic failure in addressing the health needs of a majority proportion of the population. Particularly disturbing are the women's Health Indicators.
From the NFHS of 2005-2006 , we find only three statistics that are related to women's health status; All of these are matters of deep concern and indeed are only the tip of the iceberg.
1. 33% of women are malnourishd
2. 56.2 % of all women and 58% of pregnant women are anaemic as compared to26%of men
3. 37.2% of women have experienced domestic violence
