Family planning allows people to attain their desired number of children and determine the spacing of pregnancies. It is achieved through use of contraceptive methods and the treatment of infertility.

Promotion of family planning – and ensuring access to preferred contraceptive methods for women and couples  is essential to securing the well-being and autonomy of women, while supporting the health and development of communities.

Natural family planning is a form of birth control that doesn't involve pills or devices. As a result, you don't have side effects. With these methods, you track your fertility, which is when you are most likely to get pregnant.
