Family planning is something that can help any couple determine what
they want to do about a family. Thinking about and planning for children
can help in many ways. Here are some facts from the World Health Organization (WHO).
Key facts: 214 million women of reproductive age in developing
countries who want to avoid pregnancy are not using a modern
contraceptive method.
Some family planning methods, such as condoms, help
prevent the transmission of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections.
Family planning / contraception reduces the need for abortion,
especially unsafe abortion.Family planning reinforces people’s rights to
determine the number and spacing of their children.By preventing
unintended pregnancy, family planning /contraception prevents deaths of
mothers and children.
Family planning allows people to attain their desired number of children and determine the spacing of pregnancies. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of infertility (this fact sheet focuses on contraception).
Benefits of family planning / contraception
Promotion of family planning – and ensuring access to preferred contraceptive methods for women and couples – is essential to securing the well-being and autonomy of women, while supporting the health and development of communities.
Preventing pregnancy-related health risks in women
A woman’s ability to choose if and when to become pregnant has a direct impact on her health and well-being. Family planning allows spacing of pregnancies and can delay pregnancies in young women at increased risk of health problems and death from early childbearing. It prevents unintended pregnancies, including those of older women who face increased risks related to pregnancy. Family planning enables women who wish to limit the size of their families to do so. Evidence suggests that women who have more than 4 children are at increased risk of maternal mortality.
By reducing rates of unintended pregnancies, family planning also reduces the need for unsafe abortion http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs351/en/ unsafe abortion
