unplanned

Unplanned pregnancy occurs when a pregnancy is not actively planned or desired. It can result from unprotected sexual intercourse or contraceptive failure. Avoiding unplanned pregnancy is essential for individuals and families to plan their reproductive lives, prevent health risks, and ensure access to education and economic opportunities.

Preventing unplanned pregnancy has numerous benefits. It allows individuals to make informed choices about when and if they want to have children, reducing the risk of unintended births and improving maternal and child health outcomes. Moreover, it contributes to gender equality by empowering women to control their reproductive health and make decisions about their bodies.
