Blog: Women Shouldn't Have to Be Sneaky to Get the Family Planning They Want

Impact Blog, Daniel Cothran, MPH - USAID

 

"According to health care providers I interviewed recently in Western Province, Kenya, sneaking is exactly what women feel they need to do if they want to avoid or postpone pregnancy. Their male partners, for the most part, do not want them limiting the number of children they bear. Many men share the traditional attitude that the primary role of women is to give birth."
