This wiki page provides a lot of insightful information into birth contraceptives in developing countries and the lack of access to the various forms of contraception. The examples of contraception methods in African countries and their progression toward greater access to resources is great, as it allows the reader to gain a better perspective on this issue in terms of a real life example in a place that we may not hear a whole lot about on our local news outlets being in North America. To further strengthen this post, I think that the “limitations” section could be expanded upon to include sub-headings that could include: lack of knowledge, lack of fiscal resources, limited options and availability of contraceptives, as well as cultural and religious opposition regarding birth control. I think it is particularly important to add more information on the religious and cultural aspects that prevent society from making birth control accessible and dissuade individuals from seeking birth contraceptives, as well as the social stigma that surrounds birth control. Including examples of countries that face these issues would also be useful and could include Northern Ghana, as here, the notion of unfaithfulness arises when women use contraception, thus enhancing social stigma surrounding birth control and it becomes damaging to the individual’s reputation and self-esteem.
