Final Year Project

Project Title

The Politics of Reproductive Worth: Symbolic Capital and Women’s Health in Peri-Urban Karachi

Description

The thesis examines how women in low-resource, peri-urban communities in Karachi derive social value through fertility, and how these dynamics shape reproductive choices and health outcomes. Using a mixed-methods approach with a strong qualitative core, the study draws on 28 in-depth interviews and 4 focus group discussions engaging women, family decision-makers, community health workers, and health administrators across four communities in Koohi Goth. Findings show that in contexts with limited access to education, employment, and mobility, fertility serves as a key source of social recognition and security, explaining persistent gaps in the uptake of family planning interventions that do not align with community norms. The findings are now being used to strengthen SHINE Humanity’s Maternal Healthcare programs in the same communities.
