When you empower women to protect themselves around their health—when and if they want to have children—that improves not only the woman’s life, but the economic well-being of her family and the whole community. So when women are protecting themselves from HIV and unintended pregnancy, they’re protecting their children that are living and the ones that are to come.Dr. Bethany Young Holt
