India has made several laws to protect the rights of women in the country. There are laws related to domestic violence, dowry, female foeticide, eve teasing, abortion, sexual harassment, etc. However, irrespective of all the laws, there has been a progressive deterioration of woman's status in India due to the emphasis on the patriarchal system, cultural and religious implications which subjugate women, denying her something as basic as freedom of expression.

These include barriers to emergency care, poor referral practices, gaps in continuity of care, and improper demands for payment as a condition for delivery of healthcare services.
