Does anyone have any resources (on-line would be best, but books as well) that describe alternative methods of reproductive control that women are using around the world (not focusing on people in the United States/Canada

yeah here is a link: http://www.hesperian.org/publications_download_wwhnd.php

do go chapter 13 and download it.

we use all these manuals for Living India, especially the HIV/AIDS and Community Health manuals. I love their book for midwives. but...there you go, written by 3rd world health care workers for 3rd world heath care workers and citizens.

great topic! I wish I could help you but I know nothing. However, I'd call PP for resources. Am assuming you googled all sorts of combinations of the key words?

I'll look into that.

I'm not trying to be all happy, unrealistic about the problem of not having birth control options. I know that there are women all across the world who are unable to have any sort of control over their own bodies, both in terms of who they do and do not have sex with and when they do and do not bare children.
But, I need to find some hope in the situation ... you know? Women have been controling their own reproductive health, with or without socitys blessing, for ... well since the begining of time. I'm hoping that there are a few pockets of places where this does happen underground, or knowlege is being passed on, or something.
