Contraception, or as we usually call it, birth control, prevents unwanted pregnancy by interfering with the usual process of development of a pregnancy.

In India, where even discussing sex is taboo, most teenagers begin their sexual activity without knowing anything about sexuality, contraception methods, or protection against STDs (sexually transmitted diseases).

Sexually active unmarried adolescents and young adults who do not or cannot access proper contraceptives, may face unintended pregnancy. Whether married or unmarried, adolescents and adults may develop serious physical, psychological, and social consequences from unprotected sexual relations, ranging from early and unwanted pregnancy, childbirth, and unsafe abortion to STDs, including HIV/AIDS. In a society like ours, where sexism against women and girls prevails, the consequences can also be far-reaching and affect their future lives.
