Women's bodies: the site for the ongoing conquest by reproductive technologies.

Synopsis ‐This paper attempts to throw light on the aspect of struggles around women’s bodies in relation to the development and use of new reproductive technologies, particularly with reference to India and the Netherlands. Often these technologies are used within population policies in which women are seen as mere instruments. It is absolutely crucial to draw attention to and support women’s struggles to resist control by others and to achieve and maintain their integrity and autonomy over their own bodies.
