Every year on September 26, people around the world pause to recognize World Contraception Day. At its heart, this day is about more than birth control, it’s about choices, awareness, and the right to plan your own future.
At Indago Research & Health Center, we see every day how important access to good information and healthcare is. Conversations around family planning aren’t always easy, but they are essential. Having the right knowledge gives people the power to decide if, when, and why they want to have children.
Why It Matters
Contraception is often thought of only as a way to avoid pregnancy, but the bigger picture is about health and well-being. Being able to plan pregnancies can:
Give mothers time to recover between births.
Support children with stronger, more stable beginnings.
Reduce health risks linked to unplanned pregnancies.
Help families feel more secure about their future.
When individuals are given these options, communities become healthier too.
Our Role at Indago
Our work at Indago goes beyond research studies. We care deeply about raising awareness and making sure people have the tools they need to make informed choices. By helping advance medical knowledge and creating better health solutions, we hope to contribute to a future where everyone can make these decisions with confidence and dignity.
A Shared Conversation
World Contraception Day is also a reminder that reproductive health isn’t just an individual concern—it’s something that touches families, partners, healthcare providers, and communities. It’s a conversation we all share.
So today, we encourage you to:
Take a moment to learn about the different contraception options out there.
Talk openly with loved ones about health and family planning.
Support efforts that make healthcare more accessible and inclusive.
