Kōrero: Contraception and sterilisation

Family Planning conference, 1951

Family Planning conference, 1951

Family Planning women attend their first national conference, in Lower Hutt in 1951. Two of the major remits from the conference were to lobby the government to provide birth-control clinics, and for medical schools to provide doctors with better training in contraception. In the conservative 1950s these pleas fell on deaf ears.
