World Contraception Day was established by a coalition of international organizations, including the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and the European Society of Contraception and Reproductive Health (ESC), in 2007. The day is observed annually on September 26 to raise awareness about the importance of contraception, reproductive health, and family planning.
The goal of World Contraception Day is to empower young people to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, ensuring that every pregnancy is wanted and planned.
World Contraception Day is observed worldwide to emphasize the critical role of contraception in enabling individuals and couples to plan their families, control their fertility, and protect their reproductive health.
The day focuses on the following aspects:
1. Education: Raising awareness about the various contraceptive methods available and providing accurate, unbiased information to help individuals make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
2. Access: Advocating for increased access to affordable, high-quality contraceptive services and supplies, particularly for vulnerable and marginalized populations.
3. Empowerment: Encouraging young people to take control of their sexual and reproductive health by providing them with the information, services, and support they need to make informed choices.
4. Advocacy: Engaging policymakers, health care providers, and community leaders in efforts to improve access to contraceptive information and services and to address barriers to contraceptive use.
5. Research and innovation: Supporting research and innovation in contraceptive technologies and service delivery models to expand contraceptive options and improve the quality of care.
On World Contraception Day, various events and activities are organized globally, including educational workshops, public awareness campaigns, and community outreach programs, to raise awareness about the importance of contraception and family planning.
These activities aim to break down myths and misconceptions about contraception, promote open dialogue about sexual and reproductive health, and ultimately reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and improve overall reproductive health outcomes. The day serves as an opportunity to emphasize the importance of contraceptive access and education in empowering individuals to take control of their reproductive lives and build healthier, more prosperous futures for themselves and their families.
