Abstract

BACKGROUND

This study evaluated the reproductive health rights, women empowerment and gender equity in a rural area of Bangladesh.

METHODS

Three hundred married women of reproductive age (15-49 years) in Meherpur District, Bangladesh were interviewed using a structured questionnaire and purposing sampling techniques. The logistic regression analysis was used to determine the dominating factors affecting reproductive health rights. To fulfill the objectives of the study the two main factors, age at marriage and family planning acceptance of the respondents, were regarded as the determinants.

RESULTS

The study results revealed that almost all the respondents were housewives (82.3%), one-third (31.0%) did not avail any modern facility, and their yearly income was very low. Moreover, about half of the women (52.7%) were very young (≤30 years), most of them (79.0%) had married early (<18 years) and about half of them (53.3%) had taken contraceptives based on their husbands' choice. Finally, multi-variate analysis identified the relationship between the profession of the respondents, yearly income, number of family members, and the availability of modern facilities with age at marriage (Model 1). The study also identified the relationship between the age of respondents, education, occupation, yearly income, and the total number of family members with family planning acceptance (Model 2).

CONCLUSION

Regarding the results of this study, women's reproductive health rights, marriage after the age of 18 and family planning acceptance among couples needs to be enhanced in Mehrpur District in Bangladesh.

摘要

背景

本研究评估了孟加拉国农村地区的生殖健康权利、妇女赋权和性别平等情况。

方法

采用结构化问卷和立意抽样技术，对孟加拉国梅赫布尔区300名育龄已婚妇女（15 - 49岁）进行了访谈。采用逻辑回归分析来确定影响生殖健康权利的主要因素。为实现研究目标，将两个主要因素，即受访者的结婚年龄和计划生育接受情况，视为决定因素。

结果

研究结果显示，几乎所有受访者都是家庭主妇（82.3%），三分之一（31.0%）没有使用任何现代设施，且她们的年收入很低。此外，约一半的女性（52.7%）非常年轻（≤30岁），其中大多数（79.0%）早婚（<18岁），约一半（53.3%）根据丈夫的选择采取避孕措施。最后，多变量分析确定了受访者的职业、年收入、家庭成员数量以及现代设施的可获得性与结婚年龄之间的关系（模型1）。该研究还确定了受访者的年龄、教育程度、职业、年收入以及家庭成员总数与计划生育接受情况之间的关系（模型2）。
