Family Planning raises the quality of life of the family and enhances sexual bliss. The greatest barrier to sexual pleasure is the fear of pregnancy. A wide range of sophisticated methods from natural family planning to permanent male or female sterilization ensures the couple has a wide choice and a child only when they want it. Beware, most accidents are caused by humans and most humans are caused by accidents.
Abortion occurs when nature terminates a pregnancy before it can have a chance for survival. For the lakhs of conceptions which occur by accident, failure of contraception due to carelessness or ignorance, India’s farsighted liberal Act makes abortion upto twenty weeks of pregnancy (safest upto 12 weeks) legal, safe and confidential. The earlier it is done, greater the safety.
Be wise before, if not, consult without delay.
Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) including HIV/AIDS. STD is predominately conveyed by unsafe sexual contact; less often by an infected blood transfusion, or contaminated needle or instruments, rarely through a toilet seat, towel, cup or glass etc. Every year 40 million STD news cases occur in India and HIV/AIDS is spreading rapidly. No one, who takes a risk, is immune
Consult if you are into unsafe sex and develop a genital discharge, pass burning urine, have a painless ulcer, a swelling, or a persistent skin infection. Do Not Allow Shame To Come In the Way.
Sexual Harassment against women occurs in the best of homes, at the work place, at college or in the street. At least one woman in every three has been beaten, coerced into sex or otherwise abused in her lifetime. An increasing number of cases are being reported of physical, sexual and psychological abuse at the work place despite it being against the law. Men are also sexually assaulted. Surprisingly women continued to hide violence and working women find themselves powerless and continued to suffer. Share your pain and trauma, working together will end abuse.
