Rhetoric vs reality: contraception in India and the DMPA debate

Zoe Hamilton and Anne Munger are currently working on a film documentary about India’s family planning policy. Building on a short documentary they made in 2014, Zoe and Anne plan to return to India in November to explore the introduction of DMPA, a temporary injectable contraceptive for women. In this article, they consider the aspirations of India’s family planning policy and the arguments against and in favour of the new birth control drug. Zoe and Anne fundraising for the film now – you can donate here.
