Family planning is the practice of managing the number and timing of children through methods such as contraception, fertility awareness, and counseling. It allows individuals and couples to make informed decisions about their reproductive health, improving overall well-being and economic stability. Access to family planning services contributes to better maternal and child health, empowers women, and promotes gender equality. It also plays a key role in sustainable development by helping to reduce poverty and improve the quality of life for families and communities.
