Policy & Advocacy
Up-to-date, evidence-based family planning policies and guidelines help programs and providers offer quality services that are free from unnecessary requirements and medical barriers. The Policy & Advocacy section of the Emergency Contraception Toolkit provides a number of publications exploring the current state of access to, and policy for, emergency contraception in countries around the world. This section of the Toolkit also contains policy briefs and advocacy tools that can be used to communicate effectively about emergency contraception with decision makers.
