Abstract Women empowerment and reproductive health are intrinsically linked, as the ability of women to make informed choices about their bodies is fundamental to their overall empowerment. This paper explores the multifaceted relationship between women's empowerment and reproductive health, emphasizing that when women are empowered—socially, economically, and politically—they are better positioned to access necessary health services and make informed decisions regarding their reproductive rights.
This research paper examines the relationship between women empowerment and reproductive health through a comparative study of urban and rural women in District Gautam Buddha Nagar. The study aims to analyze how educational status, economic independence, decision-making power, and access to healthcare influence women’s reproductive well-being. A descriptive comparative research design was adopted, and data were collected from 100 respondents (50 urban and 50 rural women) using a structured questionnaire.
The findings reveal significant disparities between urban and rural women. Urban women demonstrated higher levels of education, financial independence, autonomy, and awareness of reproductive health practices, which positively influenced their maternal health and family planning decisions. In contrast, rural women faced challenges such as limited education, economic dependence, inadequate healthcare access, and strong socio-cultural barriers that restricted their reproductive choices.
