This website is a tool allowing students, researchers, and activists interested in reproductive technologies and gender to rapidly access new information and discussions on these questions. The current discussions of reproductive health on the internet often fail to encourage original approaches and critical analysis of the ideas of reproduction, gender and rights. The need for innovative work and ideas cannot be overstated. Even more pressing, is the necessity of allowing these ideas a space for representation and distribution on the internet. We seek to encourage the proliferation of critical discussions about reproductive health and gender on the net, through providing interactive fora located in Southern countries, encouraging the participation of underserved groups, and soliciting material from a variety of disciplinary perspectives for distribution through our website. The website provides a free gateway to an extensive archive of on-line information about: - Gender, Biology and Technology - Reproductive Rights - HIV/AIDS - Emerging Reproductive Technologies - Biomedical information pertaining to Reproductive Health We also work in partnership with academics, activists, and libraries in South Asia to electronically publish original work on issues of gender, health and notions of development. The South Asia project is currently on-line at http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/Organizations/healthnet/SAsia/forum.html . Your input and participation are invaluable to us. We encourage you to submit your articles and viewpoints, and to give us feedback, both on our main Website and on our regional project sites. You can submit material through the website or by e-mailing us at grhf@hsph.harvard.edu. If you would like more information on our project, please contact us at the above e-mail address. We look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Sincerely, Orit Halpern -- Orit Halpern, MPH.
