Supporting Information
Key Message 5:
Family planning is the responsibility of both men and women; everyone needs to know about the health benefits.
Men as well as women must take responsibility for preventing unplanned pregnancies. They should have access to information and advice from a health worker so that they are aware of the various methods of family planning that are available.
Information can also be obtained from a doctor, nurse, teacher, family planning clinic, and youth or women's organization.
