Myths and misconceptions as well as shame and stigma are still among the reasons some women do not use modern contraceptives, according to the Commission on Population and Development .
“Many of these women are still not choosing modern contraception due to numerous access barriers. These range from lack of awareness and affordability to limitations based on age or marital status, while shame, stigma, fear, poverty, gender inequality and many other factors undermine women and girls’ ability to exercise choice and to seek and obtain contraceptives. Persisting myths and misperceptions about modern contraception are also barriers to using contraceptives,” CPD said in a statement.
This is also being emphasized by this year’s World Contraception Day theme “Your Life Your Choice,” which is endorsed by over a dozen international organizations with a common interest in advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights of young people worldwide. Complementing the upcoming World Contraception Day, Bayer also launched Bayer For Her: Conversations of Care in the Philippines last August 30, opening an initial series of free pop-up consultation clinics over the next two months at selected partner drug stores to encourage more women seek out expert advice on reproductive health.
