On some Aspects of Family Planning in SR BiH: Abortion and Contraception Debates during 1950s and 1960s

Summary/Abstract: Socialist Policy of Women’s Emancipation in Yugoslavia after the Second World War, as a result of deep and complex social and economictransformations in society, produced numerous contradictions that left lasting effects on the lives and bodies of women. This paper examines certain aspects of family planning policy in SR BiH during two decades of gradual liberalization of women’s reproductive rights, and the consequences that arose from this policy, primarily the issues of abortion, contraception and sexual education. Using primary archival sources as well as numerous published sources, press and literature, we follow the course of these changes, the debates that took place, but also the opportunities and the situation on the ground with the aim of recognizing the causes and consequences of these phenomena and their impact on the life of women in Bosnia and Herzegovina, while evaluating the overall social, economic and health conditions of that time.
