Final Year Project
Project Title
Exploring the Role of Pakistani, Women-only Facebook Groups in the Reproductive decision-making of Young, Married Women and Overcoming Social Stigmas
Description
This study aims to analyse the role of Pakistani, female-only Facebook groups in overcoming the social stigmas attached to reproductive choices in young married women and improving their decision making abilities. By illustrating the personal experience of a group member and the conversations regarding sexual and reproductive health on these digital spaces, this study shows how Pakistani women have created pockets of safety over the Internet where they explore and seek knowledge and resources to support them in making confident decisions pertaining to their sexual and reproductive lives.
