On Monday, the two entities led the celebrations to commemorate World Contraception Day in the areas of Makindye, Kasanga, and Ggaba aiming to increase awareness and access to all available contraceptive methods for young people to enable them to make informed choices.
World Contraception Day envisions a world where all pregnancies especially among young women and girls are intended pregnancies but also a world where the sexual reproductive health of young people and women is promoted through a favourable policy environment and contraceptive information and services are affordable, available, accessible and of good quality.
Through the celebrations, DKT Uganda offered a range of contraceptive products to suit all sexual reproductive health needs of young people to ensure prevention of issues like unplanned pregnancy and STIs.

The highlight of the day was the Wembley Mo and the dancers.
A renowned dance group that entertained people with music, danced through acrobatics and drama to bring out a message about what women go through in real life.
