Bihar Journal of Public AdministrationSummary: Recognizing women’s health as a human right is an important step in the UN’s ongoing efforts to uphold human dignity, promote physical development, and promote freedom, peace, and justice. Health care for the working women becomes more significant for a society like Jammu and Kashmir. As such, the present study aims at examining the status of awareness of health care among women, implementation of such schemes for women and challenges faced by government agencies in implementation of the schemes. Further, it intends to underline the problems faced by the beneficiaries at the grassroots level. By using both the secondary and primary sources of data collection, the study finds that poor health infrastructure, inadequate medical personnel, persistent violence in the valley, social taboos, poverty, lack of education and political participation among women are the major factors responsible for inhibiting women to enjoy health rights and benefit of the schemes. – Reproduced
