A scheme training local women to deliver birth control pills to homes hopes to reduce maternal mortality and poverty
“I was told ‘This is sinful’,” said rural birth control saleswoman Samina Khaskheli. “In our village, there was no information about family planning. Many women died during childbirth.”
“Before the culture was rigid, but now they’ve gradually accepted family planning,” says Samina, the Marvi worker, motioning to the group huddled around her. “I am proud I can teach women about both the Qur’an and birth control.”
