Studies have found that international family planning has a
dramatic impact on the lives of women worldwide. However, 150
million married women in the developing world want to plan
their families, but lack the means to do so. When given access
to family planning services, most couples choose to delay
childbirth, space their pregnancies apart and have smaller
families. This, in turn, helps save women's and children's
lives and eases the intense pressure on the Earth's natural
resources, improving the prospects for a healthier environment
for us all.
