This photo is a flyer for a birth control and other contraceptive town hall. The purpose of the town hall is to educate women and their partners on how effective each contraceptive method is, how to use it, how it effects the body, and where to get it as well as the approximate cost. Education on contraception, whether the woman chooses to use it or not, is important as it gives a woman the choice to control what her sexual activity means to her. Most of these contraceptives don't even have to be used for sex, they can be used to control menstrual cycles and their symptoms. So, overall, these contraceptives give women the power to control their bodies and not be a pawn to their reproductive organs. This photo therefore represents SDG-5 which is gender equality. Info sessions like these were seen as taboo and are still seen as taboo but people are are more expected to know how men's bodies work and how condoms work. Anything about the male body is more socially acceptable but menstrual cycles and birth control need to be whispered about. The more info sessions we have and the more sexual health knowledge centered around women is spread, the closer to gender equality we can come as a society. If women are educated about how they get pregnant and what can prevent pregnancy, then the population can stop booming due to ignorance and we can slow down the use of Earth's resources and bide more time before we reach Earth's carrying capacity.
