Catherine Maternowska

 

….Haiti has a population problem which contributes to their poverty problem and therefore, USAID has established family planning programs for the Haitian women. It is often areas that are deemed “underdeveloped” and “poor” that are subject to this type of intervention and external “aid”. Catherine Maternowska, a medical anthropologist, conducted ethnographic research regarding the role and consequences of USAID’s family planning programs in Haiti. Maternowska learned that despite Haitian women’s desire to have fewer children many of them were not keen on participating in the programs.
