BMC Women's Health

New Content Item World Contraception Day (WCD) takes place on September 26th every year. To avoid unplanned pregnancy, abortions and the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, conducting educational activities on the issues of sex education and family planning are essential.

We are taking the opportunity to support World Contraception Day 2019 by sharing a selection of contraception and related articles and blog posts.

We are recruiting new Editorial Board members
