World Contraception Day
More than a quarter of girls and women aged between 15 and 24 do not use contraceptives the "first time". Many of them lack an awareness of the fact that this can have far-reaching consequences and lead to personal and social crises.
Unintended pregnancies and the resultant number of abortions are often caused by a lack – or the incorrect use – of contraceptives. Young people should be educated about contraceptives and be able to make a conscious decision on when they want to become parents.
World Contraception Day (September 26) is an international initiative aimed at improving awareness and knowledge of contraception and reproductive health. Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals, world leader in the field of hormonal contraceptives, is involved in staging World Contraception Day.
