During #UNGA80, our Vice President for International Research, Dr. Onikepe Owolabi, spoke at Foreign Policy Magazine’s Her Power Forum. As Dr. Owolabi explains, measuring “need” in family planning means more than counting who isn’t using contraception. It’s about listening to women who express a clear need, but may lack access, and making sure investments meet them where they are. This #WorldContraceptionDay, we’re sharing her remarks to emphasize that contraception is essential health care, and that protecting access is critical for communities worldwide.
