The truth about Birth Control? Contraception Still So TABOO? All About Her | Dr. Sunita | Dr. Deepa

Video Description

ALL ABOUT HER with SOHA ALI KHAN | EPISODE 7 | WHY IS CONTRACEPTION STILL A TABOO? | DR. SUNITA | DR. DEEPA | UNFPA Why is contraception — something so essential to health, choice, and equality — still shrouded in silence in India? Why does the burden of family planning overwhelmingly fall on women? And what will it take for access, awareness, and acceptance to become the norm? 🎙️ In this episode, I sit down with two of India’s leading voices in women’s health and family planning: Dr. Sunita (President, FOGSI) and Dr. Deepa (UNFPA). Together, we unpack India’s contraception story — from the myths and stigma that keep it taboo, to the urgent need for education, policy support, and shared responsibility. From shocking statistics on maternal mortality, to the gap between urban awareness and rural realities, to the Gen Z perspective on choice and agency — this conversation is raw, honest, and eye-opening. We talk about contraception as healthcare (not just “prevention”), the affordability gap, Bollywood’s role in shaping perceptions, and the powerful question: why do women still bear the biggest burden when men have equally viable options? If you’ve ever wondered why something so basic is still seen as “hush-hush,” or if you care about the future of reproductive rights and gender equality in India — this is an episode you cannot miss.
