Population Matters High Wycombe - meet on most Tuesdays
2017-09-05 13:00 - 14:00 | Lido Cafe on the Rye, The Rye (off Bassetsbury Lane), High Wycombe, HP11 1QX
Non-profit group Population Matters High Wycombe currently meet most Tuesdays at the Lido Cafe on the Rye.
Contact us on highwycombegroup@populationmatters.org if you want to attend. You can buy your lunch in the Cafe or bring your own.
The group aims to further gender equality and women’s empowerment because when women have equal say in determining family size, they generally opt for smaller families and smaller families are more sustainable. We also try to improve access to family planning services, because 200 million women worldwide currently don’t have adequate access. This is especially important in developing countries such as Africa where birth rates and malnutrition are high.

World Contraception day (WHO)
2017-09-26
According to WHO (World Health Organisation), the promotion of family planning – and ensuring access to preferred contraceptive methods for women and couples – is essential to securing the well-being and autonomy of women, while supporting the health and development of communities. Allowing women to choose whether, when, and how many children to have achieves progress on global health goals. It also helps break the cycle of poverty, and puts families, communities, and countries on a stronger, more prosperous and sustainable path.
Note: More than 200 million women worldwide do not have adequate access to family planning services. According to Population Matters, improved access results in smaller families. Smaller families consume less and are more sustainable.
