I hope this conference will spread the word about family planning in the youth society. The youth society will be given a comprehensive idea about the need for family planning. As a result, our future generations can be protected.

BNYCFP2021 was great in a way. Youth can strongly lead positive change in society. Taboo and myths on family planning issues should mitigate to get the best outcome on excessive population prevention in Bangladesh. I am honored to be a part of BNYCFP2021. I wish for a great conference.

A national conference on Family Planning! The name itself gives us a glimpse of what we can have or learn here. As we know, family planning programs perform a critical role in national and human development. And women have to face so many health issues due to inappropriate family planning, for instance: drastic changes in weight, excessive bleeding, absence or lack of sexual desire, headaches are common. It also plays a vital role in financial status. Consequently, I am expecting this program will enable women to be healthier and have equal opportunities to decide what she wants in her life and career. I am also waiting to hear from them, that women and men have equal rights in family planning.
