Contraception by the end of the 20th century--the role of the voluntary organizations.
The formation and activities of several voluntary organizations (non-governmental organizations or NGOs) are described. They were formed in response to the social needs arising from the vast population changes in the last century. Many of them have undertaken active roles in the introduction or improvement of various forms of contraception. They have an urgent need for more funds in order to pursue their activities. Even a small diversion of money from other uses would permit the development of several new, safe and effective contraceptive methods acceptable to men and women in all countries of the world.
