France Supports Belgium’s Opposition to US Contraceptive Policy
Joint effort to block destruction of U.S.-funded birth control stockpile
France has voiced strong support for Belgium’s campaign to halt the destruction of a large stockpile of U.S.-funded contraceptives, following a controversial decision by the U.S. government to withdraw overseas funding.
French officials called the move regressive and warned that it could severely undermine global reproductive health efforts.
The joint appeal is gaining traction among European Union partners as part of a wider push to safeguard women’s health and bodily autonomy.
