It's #WorldContraceptionWeek!
Contraception is life-changing. The ability to choose if or when to become pregnant has the power to:
🎓 Help girls stay in school
💪 Support women to lead
🌍 Build a gender equal world
But access to contraception is not guaranteed.
Around the world, 257 million women want to use contraception but have no access to it. And in the face of international aid cuts, millions more women and girls risk losing vital reproductive healthcare.
That's why we're joining @MSI Reproductive Choices this #ChoiceWeek in the fight for a future where everyone has the power to choose.

Thread 🧵
The 2022 UNFPA annual report reveals that 28% married women and 32% of sexually active unmarried women have an unmet need for family planning.
When women are unable to access contraceptive and family planning resources this leads them down a road of disempowerment that starts with a lack of support in relation to the expression of physical autonomy.
Part of our work on the Gen G initiative entails we work towards educating young people on their options in relation to contraceptive care and family planning.
#FIDAU conducted a series of interviews with stakeholders on the importance of contraception within our operating districts.

Our third interview was with teacher and business woman Rael Chebet.
Rael speaks to the social stigma women may experience for engaging in family planning and utilizing contraception due to gendered expectations which promote large families and stigmatize women who do not produce.
