Family planning is a human right. Yet in developing countries, 214 million women don't have the power to decide their future. With Power Her Choices, UNFPA, United Colors of Benetton and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation are calling attention to this unacceptable situation.  

In Sierra Leone, teenage pregnancies are commonplace, and school completion rates are unacceptably low. But family planning programmes, supported by UNFPA, are empowering people to choose if and when to have children, and how many children to have. By enabling young people to stay in school and find productive employment, family planning is helping Sierra Leoneans to pursue better futures for themselves and their families.
