Short Summary: The female condom is a new method of preventing both pregnancy and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STI)/HIV infection. If supported by education and informational activities about its use then the female condom can contribute to women’s control over their reproductive and sexual rights and health. This resource offers guidance on how to plan for integrating the female condom into already existing activities as well as how to effectively promote it and train providers to adequately educate potential users about it. For example, recruiting prominent role models and/or community leaders to present the product and the programme. It aims to help programme managers in public and private sector health systems and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community-based organisations (CBOs) who are interested in developing or expanding programmes to include the female condom and to address operational and promotional aspects. To order - email: info@femalecondom.org. An information pack about the female condom is also available from WHO and UNAIDS.
