Dear WCD Partners,

Today, we celebrate the 10th global anniversary of World Contraception Day and the annual highlight of our year-round contraceptive awareness program together with partners around the world.

WCD is all about young people’s right to access accurate and unbiased information about contraception. We strive to improve awareness of all contraceptive methods to enable young people to make informed and self-determined choices about their sexual and reproductive health.

FACTS ABOUT CONTRACEPTION

Highlighting the need for comprehensive sexual education of youth, the Youth and Contraception Report including the results of the global youth survey is now available on the Your Life website: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=prXuRfjZEPw.

In addition for this year’s World Contraception Day, we decided to partner up with international influencers to raise awareness for contraception and safe sex. International influencers from Brazil, Mexico, Germany, Malaysia, and Nigeria join forces to educate (and entertain!) their young audiences. Watch the video series on YouTube here.

To follow the Your Life Campaign and join the conversation use #WCD2017 or visit our channels on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Many thanks to all of you for your contributions, your dedication and continuous commitment to World Contraception Day!

We look forward to hearing from your organization’s activities.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards,

Signe Scheid
Campaign & Global Partnerships Lead
