In order to find a solution to a problem, you need to recognize that there is indeed a major issue.  Lack of access to education and resources about birth control, contraceptives, and family planning is disproportionately affecting low-income families in countries of the developing world, mainly Africa, Asia, and the Middle East more so than other regions. Due to a lack of education throughout centuries, a social stigma has developed against women who desire an interest in even though this issue affects the whole family, not just the woman.

Some potential solutions that have been explored, but not to a very full degree include but is not limited to: family planning programs, train new thinking about the possibilities of family planning/contraceptive methods, addressing cultural barriers, and opening clinics with resources for women that have nowhere else to turn.

Representatives that are appropriate for the job should hold community discussions that introduce and shift the ideas of family planning and contraception in a new light. Contradicting cultural beliefs may be hard, but it can be done as the benefits would far surpass the negatives. Additionally, counseling services may be life saving for some women, who find they have nowhere else to turn to. Access to resources like birth control, contraceptives, and other products can be provided at a low cost as well.
