Birth Control Movement

The Birth Control Movement emerged in the early 20th century, advocating for women’s rights to access contraception and family planning resources. It aimed to empower women by providing them control over their reproductive health, which was often limited by societal and legal restrictions. Pioneers like Margaret Sanger played crucial roles in promoting awareness and access to birth control methods. The movement challenged traditional beliefs about sexuality and motherhood, leading to significant changes in laws and attitudes that support reproductive rights, ultimately contributing to broader discussions on gender equality and individual choice in family planning.
