• All of the above

Answer 1

All of the above

Explanation:

In India, women account for half of the overall population. In comparison to men, women fall behind in terms of education, health care, and economic engagement. The child sex ratio has dropped from 945 in 1991 to 927 in 2010, indicating an increase in female foeticide in the country. Nearly 3,00,000 married women have given birth to at least one kid. Anemia affects around half of all married women aged 15 to 49. Maternal deaths increased by 19% as a result of this. In India, abortions are the most common cause of maternal illness and mortality. Because of these circumstances, women's health has become a major concern.
