Intersectionality and women's empowerment in hysterectomy decisions: an inquiry using data from a large cross-sectional sample survey in India
From the intersection of variables, the study observed that illiteracy, residing in rural areas, and high parity increase the likelihood of undergoing hysterectomy among women of reproductive age. There is a need to establish a mechanism for disseminating reproductive health knowledge to women in rural areas.
