Colombian and Brazilian family planning: A comparative study.

Profamilia is one of the world’s largest and oldest family planning organisations. It presently works with the poorest, most vulnerable and most marginalised populations of Colombia. Using data from Profamilia as well as governmental sources, this dissertation compares and contrasts the work of Profamilia with comparable agencies in Brazil. In the latter, increased access to education, information and contraception have combined to lower the birth rate by two thirds over the last five decades. Through so doing the paper proffers further methods of education that could be adopted by family planning agencies in Colombia to help young women undertake more education and to live independently.
