This day aims to increase knowledge of contraception options and empower young people to make well-informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health. People should be aware of contraception's benefits in the fight against unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases like HIV. For couples and individuals to make free and responsible decisions about the number and spacing of their children, contraception is a crucial component. Planning a family gives people more chances to reach their potential; they can participate and make contributions, which promotes more affluent and stable communities.

Reducing sexually transmitted illnesses, high-risk pregnancies, mother and infant mortality, and teenage and unplanned pregnancies can be accomplished through increasing access to affordable contraception and family planning programmes. Female empowerment is also important in motivating women to make decisions that affect their reproductive health.

To achieve this, various leaders and organisations must get involved and collaborate. It is crucial to remember that family planning has effects beyond health. Having children you can care for has a good impact on society and the country at large since it reduces the crime rate and boosts productivity.
