Selected fact: Each year at least one women die every minute due to pregnancy causes

Family planning alone can reduce maternal mortality by 25 %Worldwide, there are nearly 80 million unintended pregnancy annually, and more than half ends up in abortion. Almost 20 million of those abortions are unsafe (traditional, septic, nonskilled etc) and 78.000 result in death. In another word one women die due to abortion every 7 minute. Most of them happened in the developing world, including Indonesia. Then, mirroring successful European approach, the idea of legalized abortion came up.

I believe condom is not only good in it self as a technical tools to avoid STD (Sexually Transmitted Disease) but it also a good tool to transform gender equity in to action in the most intimate way. It will help the girl/women to build her negotiating power and ability and its also help the boy/man to learn to be responsible for his action by taking prevention act. Its just one of the best tool that we can have for now and I am glad we have condom.
