Since the 1960s, the burden of preventing unintended pregnancies has rested almost entirely on women. While the female contraceptive pill revolutionized reproductive rights, it also brought a lifetime of screening, side effects, and health risks. Sixty years later, the ultimate question remains: when will there be a pill for him?
In this video, we investigate why male contraception options haven’t made it to pharmacy shelves and look at the changing landscape of reproductive equity. We sit down with the Male Contraceptive Initiative (MCI) to break down the data revealing that up to 70% of men across multiple countries are actively seeking novel forms of male birth control.
Discover the groundbreaking science behind upcoming non-hormonal, reversible alternatives—including a revolutionary on-demand pill designed to safely inhibit sperm motility and stop fertilization before it happens. We also unpack the combination of societal assumptions and funding gaps that have stalled progress, and how sharing the contraceptive burden can unlock true gender equity in healthcare.
