""
While India has made significant progress in reproductive
health services in recent years, the current scenario calls
for urgent attention focussed on contraception and family
planning to ensure sustainable development and
equitable growth.

ATERNAL

The number of registered

Solutions to issues like unintended pregnancies, unsafe abortions and unmet need for contraception require
collective actions at different levels to ensure that we have a population that is aware on sexual and reproductive
rights and family planning, balanced and gender sensitive social norms, rights-based policies and an efficient
delivery of family planning programmes.
ARC, a network of organisations and individuals working in sexual and reproductive health rights is committed to
working with the government and other institutions, at the national and state levels, to strengthen family planning
policies in India.
Objectives of ARC
+ Advocate for the universal right to contraception as a national priority in family planning
+ Advance rights-based, progressive policies and strategies on family planning
+ Provide thought leadership through the generation of knowledge and evidence
