“…In the sphere of physical autonomy, it is also necessary to talk about the high maternal mortality and teenager pregnancy rates reported in countries such as Bolivia, Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, and Nicaragua, given that sustainable development refers to the phenomena of developing interventions that are able to be maintained over long-term periods of time without significant risk [52].

This article analyzes the behavior of gender indicators on the economic, physical, and decision-making autonomy of Latin-American women, based on data compiled and published in 2020 by the Gender Equality Observatory of the United Nations Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), for 17 countries. Using the HJ-Biplot multivariate technique, it is concluded that the three evaluated areas interact with each other, in such a way that they cannot be interpreted in isolation because their relationships and interdependencies explain the differences in the participation of men and women in the socioeconomic and political environment of the nations in the region. Additionally, it is concluded that in countries such as Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Bolivia, and Ecuador, greater public policy actions are required to seek the economic empowerment of women; while in Brazil, Mexico, and Colombia, laws are necessary to regulate violence against women. It is necessary to continue promoting gender equality in the region as a determinant factor in methodological frameworks and transformational policies to enable moving towards the construction of sustainable societies and economies.

Due to ineffective management, the attainment of the maternal health goals by the primary healthcare in the state of Odisha turns out to be a great challenge. Hence, it is imperative for the government to come up with various interventions with an effective implementation of the digital solutions to bring down the fatalities during pregnancy and childbirth. The researchers through this study have attempted to identify the variation in the usage and accessibility of maternal and child healthcare services among the marginalized groups of Northern and Central Zones of Odisha and have also highlighted the impacts of the digital transformation and their subsequent challenges. The researchers have utilized a mixed approach for the attainment of the objectives. Based on the findings of the study, the policymakers and health strategists may focus on improvising the management of the maternal health resources and facilities meant for the maternal healthcare across the masses to bring down the maternal mortality and morbidity rate of Odisha.
