Abstract This qualitative inquiry delves into the nuanced interplay between women’s education and maternal health practices among Nepali Dalit women residing in the far-western province of Nepal. Through semi structured interviews with married Dalit women of reproductive age 15 49 years, this study explores the multifaceted impact of educational attainment on various aspects of maternal well-being within the community. Findings reveal compelling insights into how education influences fertility decisions, maternity behavior, and access to healthcare services among Dalit women. A complex tapestry of socio economic factors emerged from the narratives, including occupation, family income, and religious beliefs, which intersect with educational status to shape reproductive choices and maternal health outcomes. These narratives highlight the resilience of Dalit women in navigating socio cultural norms and structural barriers to access maternal healthcare, underscoring the importance of targeted interventions aimed at addressing educational and socio economic disparities. By amplifying the voices of Dalit women and elucidating the lived experiences behind the statistics, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the role of education in promoting maternal health and well being within marginalized communities.
