Contraception and Family Planning
Family planning, together with contraception and infertility therapies, enables people to choose the number and spacing of their children. Because it prevents unwanted pregnancies, which lowers maternal illness and pregnancy-related fatalities, it is essential to human rights and health. In addition to lowering health risks, family planning helps older women and young girls postpone getting pregnant. Contraception lessens the need for unsafe abortions and lowers the danger of HIV transmission from mothers to their unborn children by reducing unintended pregnancies.
