  abstract = {{G}lobally, maternal health matters and birthing ideologies and practices still generate much controversy. {O}n the one hand, those who are promoting the medicalization of childbirth argue that the mortality and morbidity risks justify the imposition of biotechnological standards and practices. {O}n the other hand, activists for demedicalization of birth are denouncing gynecological and obstetric violence, and pointing the pathologies induced by overuse of technologies. {T}hese movements, which are part of the current's feminist calls, advocate a women's reappropriation over their own bodies. {T}he paper, based on long term and more recent ethnographical investigations aims to explore these political, cultural and social controversies by examining the recent initiatives in reproductive health domain carried by {J}apanese cooperation in {S}outh-{E}ast {A}sia. {S}ince the 2000s, {JICA} ({J}apanese agency for international cooperation), as part of its infrastructure development, institutional strengthening and training programs, has indeed carried out numerous initiatives. {O}ne aims at improving the quality of maternal health care with two main objectives: the reduction of cesarean section rates and the humanization of birth.},
