Male involvement in family planning services
The photo above was taken during a dialogue on the role of men in promotion of family
planning services
“Several studies conducted in both urban and rural areas show that
lack of male involvement in making family planning decisions is one of
the highly cited reasons why women and youth get discouraged from
using contraception.”
We conducted dialogues between women, men and
health care providers about the role of men in
promoting family planning services.
