Ranchi Family Planning: Low Male Sterilization Rates Highlight Gender Gap
Male participation in permanent family planning in Ranchi remains significantly low, with only 44 vasectomies performed last year compared to over 2,845 female sterilizations. Deep-rooted myths, lack of awareness, and social stigma contribute to this disparity, despite vasectomy being a simpler procedure. Even with financial incentives, women continue to bear the primary responsibility for family planning.
