What is WVD
World Vasectomy Day (WVD) has emerged over the past decade as a movement to encourage and educate all demographic groups about an often-overlooked form of family planning: vasectomy.
With over 1000 participating providers from 30+ countries, every year since 2013, WVD has brought its headquarters to a different country inspiring more than 124,000 vasectomies around the world.
We aim to increase awareness of sexual health and contraceptive options and believe in the importance of encouraging men, to share in reproductive responsibilities and become an active part of the conversation.
Family Planning organizations and Ministries of health (MoH) need to strengthen their institutional capacity to provide quality reproductive health care to men, increase research on male engagement is required and more resources should be allocated by governments, donors and multilateral organizations.
Narratives and gender norms around men need to shift so men see themselves as active and coresponsible agents for Family Planning.
Doctors need to be educated in the latest and best vasectomy techniques, so men have easy and safe access to Family Planning and contraceptive methods.
