Background and Rationale

UNFPA Country programme envisions an India where every woman and young person, including those from the most vulnerable groups, enjoys gender equality, realizes sexual and reproductive health and reproductive rights and contributes to sustainable development. UNFPA focuses on ensuring universal access to high quality sexual and reproductive health services; investing in adolescent health and well-being and empowering young people with critical life skills; addressing gender-based violence (GBV) and harmful practices such as gender-biased sex selection and child marriage and using population data to maximize the demographic dividend.

Harmful practices like gender-biased sex-selection, early marriage and teenage pregnancies among young girls continue to be of concern in the state with 23.1% of women aged between 20 and 24 years getting married before they turn 18. Among adolescent girls aged 15–19 in MP, 5.1% have already begun childbearing, i.e., they were already mothers or pregnant at the time of the NFHS-5. Gender-biased sex-selection has led to an alarming decline in sex-ratio in Madhya Pradesh. The sex ratio at birth for MP is 956 female per 1000 male.

Achieving Zero harmful practices is one of three transformative goals of UNFPA’s Strategic Plan. Gender based Sex Selection and Child Marriage stems from gender-based discrimination and addressing them is critical to the achievement of the SDGs. Madhya Pradesh has improved in terms of reducing Child marriages and address Gender based sex selection, but challenges remain. UNFPA works closely with the Department of Public Health & Family Welfare for the enhancing the health, reproductive health of adolescent girls and enhancing the value of girl child. In the coming years, it is proposed to work on addressing Gender based violence, building capacities of various stakeholders on Gender issues from public health perspective. UNFPA will be providing technical support to the Department in the area of strengthening the response towards Gender based discrimination and addressing gender based violence from the public health perspective. In this context, it is planned to provide technical support to the Department of PH&FW on addressing Gender Based Violence and stronger implementation of PCPNDT Act and other Gender legislations. A technical consultant will be hired who will work closely with the Joint Director and Senior Officials of Department of PH&FW on the above areas.
