Abstract	:	This thesis explores the relationship between international human rights discourse, Indian National Population Policy, and women's reproductive and sexual rights in Tamil Nadu. The thesis draws from theories of third world feminism as well as critical insights from the globalization debate. Specifically it investigates the ways in which a community organization in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu, the Rural Women's Social and Education Center (RUWSEC), responds to the population control policies of the state of Tamil Nadu, and the Indian federal government. It looks at RUWSEC as a case study to understand the dynamics of this relationship. This thesis argues that RUWSEC has been successful in promoting reproductive/sexual rights of Dalit women by following the principles laid out in the Beijing Platform and Cairo Programme for Action and specifically, by creating an environment where Dalit women participate directly in the design, implementation and monitoring of RUWSEC programmes.
