Reproductive healthcare experiences of Indian women migrants (2018 - 2021)

I served as a Co-Investigator on the KAKEN-funded project “Migrant Women and SDGs: Access to Sexual and Reproductive Health Services in Japan” (18KK0030), led by Principal Investigator Professor Masako Tanaka at Sophia University. While the broader project examined barriers to reproductive health services among migrant women in Japan, my contribution focused specifically on the experiences of Indian migrant women. Through community engagement and qualitative research, I explored how cultural expectations, class background, transnational ties, and migration pathways shape their access to sexual and reproductive healthcare. My work highlights the unique ways Indian women navigate differences between healthcare systems in Japan and India, as well as the social and institutional factors that influence their reproductive choices and wellbeing.
