Today, March 11th, Belle by Choice teams carried out market sensitization in Kola and AIT Road communities, Lagos State. The sensitization focused on educating women and girls about the importance of family planning, which not only prevents unwanted pregnancies but also enables women to practice child spacing. Additionally, the team talked to the women and adolescent girls about the need to practice safe sex, such as the use of condoms to prevent unwanted pregnancies and contact with HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted infections. During the sensitization, some of the women we spoke to shared their positive experiences with family planning, highlighting how it has allowed them to focus on their careers and plan properly for their future. Overall, it was an insightful event, as we were able to educate 142 women in the market. It was encouraging to see women who are already using modern contraception sharing their positive experiences and advising others to consider family planning. @BelleByChoice #MyHealthMyPride #EndingUnwantedAndUnplannedPregnancies #EnsuringAllPregnaciesAreWanted
