Therefore contraception is the utilization of various and sundry surgical procedures, devices, practices, agents, or drugs with the intention of preventing conception or impregnation (pregnancy). Methods and intentions typically termed birth control may be considered a pivotal ingredient to family planning. Birth control is a controversial political and ethical issue in many cultures and religions, and although it is generally less controversial than abortion specifically.

ABSTRACT

Voluntary organizations have played an important role in creating public acceptance of family planning and in

stimulating governments to organize family planning programs. However, in some countries conflicts have arisen

between the voluntary organizations and the government, with the voluntary organizations feeling they were being

dominated by a government that did not know what it was doing and governments regarding the voluntary

organizations as empire builders. Both governments and voluntary organizations have definite roles and

responsibilities; certainly, some functions can better be performed by one or the other. Voluntary organizations can

continue their pioneering role by initiating programs in sensitive areas, such as sex education, and in the areas of

community education, research and training. International organizations, such as the International Planned

Parenthood Federation and the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, play a vital role in supporting local

organizations with funds and commodities. It is important that these are given with few strings attached.
