Don’t answer that. We’re just happy you’re celebrating.

World Contraception Day is one of our favorite days of the year. Every September 26 marks one more step toward a world where every pregnancy is wanted. That means fewer maternal and newborn deaths, fewer unsafe abortions, and greater equity and prosperity for women everywhere.

At IntraHealth International, that’s what we want too. And we know that health workers hold the keys to that world.

Right now, there are 225 million women worldwide who want to avoid pregnancy, but aren’t using effective methods of contraception. And that number doesn’t include men, many of whom are in the same boat. Fortunately, there are health workers out there today working to change this.

Join us this #WCD2016 to celebrate the astounding progress we’ve made as a global community in making contraception more widely available to those who want it—and saving the lives of millions of women and children as a result.

And while you’re celebrating, check out these 11 stories about the challenges and successes of making contraception available to everyone everywhere, and what we can all do to help:
