To make informed choices about family planning, women and men need accurate information in the media as well as in the clinic. The media are looking for news important to the millions of people they reach each day. Thus helping the news media cover family planning fully and accurately merits the efforts of every family planning program.
Women around the world hope for the future--for better lives for themselves, education and prosperity for their children, and security for their families. A broad array of social and economic changes is necessary to overcome the poverty, lack of education, and limited control over their own lives that often keep women's hopes from coming true. But women can take an important step forward when they make their own reproductive choices--about marriage, sex, childbearing, and contraception.
Over the past 30 years, family planning programs have helped millions of people to have the smaller families that they want. As programs have learned how to meet people's needs, contraceptive use has spread rapidly.
