Fifty years ago, at the 1968 International Conference on Human Rights, the United Nations proclaimed family planning a basic human right—and an obligation of every country, government, and policymaker to fulfill. Decades later, women and girls still struggle to plan, avoid, or delay pregnancy. Approximately 214,000,000 women who want to avoid pregnancy face significant obstacles to using reliable contraceptives.
Help us demonstrate the importance of this human right by sharing how family planning has made of difference for you.
