Contraception (birth control) is a regimen of one or more actions, devices, or medications followed in order to deliberately prevent or reduce the likelihood of a woman becoming pregnant or giving birth. 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

A seminar was held at the University of Keele in England, July 1970. Its aim was to provide an opportunity for

educators to meet planned parenthood experts, demographers, representatives of UN specialized agencies, and

representatives of governments in both the developed and less developed countries, with a view to examining

possible approaches in educational development, with special reference to the needs of planned parenthood. 57

participants from 24 countries attended. Preparatory papers set the scene for discussion in the following areas:

1)the interrelationships between social development, planned parenthood, and education; 2)the significance of

planned parenthood as a human right, in relation to population policy and population control theories; 3)the

expressed needs of all countries for education for responsible parenthood; and 4)the need for donor countries not to

coerce, but to cooperate, in the area of planned parenthood. It was agreed that all government programs will be

effective only to the point that decision-making is local. Discussion was in general terms, with occasional reference

to specific local examples. It provided no solutions, only pointed up areas for future work. Closer coordination

between planned parenthood organizations and educational, health, social, and development agencies worldwide is

foreseen. (PubHealth.info Document ID: CONT8T 4087-06)
