Overview
Family planning is the practice of controlling the number of children in a family through the use of various methods such as contraception, abstinence, and sterilization. It is an important component of sexual and reproductive health that helps couples and individuals to plan and space their pregnancies in order to achieve better overall health outcomes. Family planning also has significant economic and environmental benefits, such as reducing poverty, improving maternal and child health, and reducing the impact of population growth on the environment. It is a fundamental human right, as well as an essential component of gender equality, education, and sustainable development.
