About the Webinar
Imagine trying to change behaviours that are barely talked about in public. That was the challenge in Jordan, a conservative environment where the sensitive topic of family planning is difficult to raise outside the privacy of a clinic. Instead, social norms include large size families, a preference for male children and pregnancy right after marriage. Fear of modern contraceptive methods is also quite common. Join us to learn about a bold social marketing campaign and the success factors that helped it achieve significant changes in the use of intrauterine devices in Jordan.
