"Your Life, Your Body, Your Choice"
World Contraception Day is the first-ever international awareness campaign aiming to reduce the high levels of unintended pregnancy that occur every year.
World Contraception Day is an international campaign to educate couples about the importance of contraception and reproductive health. The goal is to foster informed choices about contraceptive options and usage and to reduce unplanned pregnancy and abortion.
Did you know that each year in the developing world:
-
137 million women who don’t want to become pregnant are not using contraception.
-
76 million unplanned pregnancies occur.
-
36 million pregnancies end in abortion.
-
Births resulting from unplanned pregnancy contribute unnecessarily to health risks for mothers and children, to the cost of raising families, and to the adverse impact of population growth.
The Population Council conducts research to develop contraceptives and to better understand the factors influencing access to and decisionmaking around contraceptives.
"Your Life, Your Body, Your Choice"This life is ours... We can give our decisions and we can choose... In the end we can bear the consequences...
I for one am going to try to use as many different forms of contraception tomorrow as possible... Wish me luck...
