Why It Matters
A woman planning to have one or two children will spend less than 5 years trying to get pregnant, being pregnant or breastfeeding, and more than thirty years trying to avoid pregnancy. There is an immense need for access to high quality knowledge, methods and services to prevent unintended pregnancies.
