Family planning and contraception plays an essential role in helping women and couples make thoughtful decisions about their reproductive lives. Whether it's choosing when to start a family or how to space pregnancies, having access to reliable contraceptive methods supports better health, greater independence, and more stability for individuals and communities. Today, there are many safe and effective options available from pills and intrauterine devices (IUDs) to long-acting implants and newer methods tailored to different needs. But in many parts of the world, barriers like cost, misinformation, or limited healthcare access still prevent people from getting the services they need.

The Women’s Health World Conference (WHWC) brings attention to these ongoing challenges and the progress being made in the field of family planning. At the conference, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policy experts come together to discuss how contraceptive care can be improved, from expanding access in underserved areas to developing solutions that are more inclusive and culturally appropriate.
