In the developing world 220 million women want contraception but can’t get it. As a result many women become vulnerable to unplanned pregnancy and have the risk of seeing their child die from poverty. All individuals should be able to decide the size of their family and who they live with. This is essential to end poverty and create a more sustainable world.
