cristi_wmf — Wed, 20 Nov 2024 11:00:47 +0000

Join us for a conversation that goes beyond traditional perspectives on family planning, focused on the realities of unintended pregnancies. With nearly half of pregnancies unplanned and decision-making often influenced by cultural dynamics and big pharmaceutical players, there’s a need for fresh approaches. In many communities, men may decide whether to use birth control, while women are left to manage the responsibility of childcare. This session invites you to explore how fertility awareness and shared responsibility can foster a new dialogue. We’ll discuss innovative ways to empower couples to approach family planning together and hear insights on launching a social venture to bring fertility awareness to life in local contexts. Let’s reimagine family planning—one where both partners share the journey from the start.
