Walk for effective family planning in West Africa
Walk for more freedom of choice in family planning
Every minute, 250 people worldwide face an unintended pregnancy.
This often happens because entire communities have no access to information about family planning or contraception.
OOO-LOOP:
On Saturday morning, 25 October, we are organising an OOO-LOOP together with Doneer Effectief and the 10 Percent Club. This second edition focuses on reproductive health in West Africa – an Outsized problem, something that we can Overcome and it is Overlooked (the 3 O's of the OOO-LOOP).
Worldwide, 218 million people need modern contraception but do not have access to it. This affects not only individuals, but entire families and communities. It leads to economic challenges, fewer educational opportunities and preventable health risks.
Family Empowerment Media: proven impact
This year, we walk for Family Empowerment Media (FEM). This organisation uses radio campaigns to inform communities in West Africa about family planning in their own language. Radio reaches millions of people at low cost and breaks through cultural barriers where traditional methods fail.
