In Joal, Senegal, women are turning to contraception as a vital means of managing their reproductive health amidst economic challenges posed by industrial fishing. The local health clinic, supported by MSI Reproductive Choices, provides essential family planning services, but recent cuts to UK and US aid threaten these programs. Women like Adama Faye and Coumba Dieng highlight the transformative impact of contraception on their lives, allowing them to space pregnancies and pursue economic opportunities. However, the clinic struggles with limited resources and increasing poverty, as many families depend on dwindling fishing yields. The situation underscores the critical need for sustained support to ensure women's health and economic empowerment in the face of rising challenges.
