On October 11, 2024, a 'Family Planning Awareness' Session was held at the Enhanced Migrant Health Center of Kayseri State Hospital, aimed specifically at raising awareness among mothers. During the session, attended by ARSA President Dr. Zakira Hekmat, the message "Family planning is not achieved through abortion" was emphasized. The session focused on promoting the idea that family planning should be done healthily through birth control methods. Dr. Zakira Hekmat stated that abortion is not a family planning method, and instead, responsible and informed family planning is crucial for both maternal health and family life.

Participants were provided with detailed information about birth control methods, and discussions were held on the benefits of having children when ready and in manageable numbers, highlighting its positive impact on public health. The attending mothers expressed that they found the session highly informative and felt more equipped to make conscious decisions about family planning. They thanked the expert for the valuable insights that would contribute significantly to their lives.

ARSA President Dr. Zakira Hekmat also announced that similar awareness programs will continue to be organized to further educate the community.

This program is supported by Rights to Learn Afghanistan, a leading international organization advocating for the right to education.
