Revision as of 14:37, 16 February 2011
The Family Planning Federation of Japan (FPFJ), also known as the Japanese Family Planning Association[1], is the premiere Japanese organization [2] for encouraging family planning activities within Japan. In conjunction with the International Planned Parenthood Federation, the FPFJ advocates for the concept of sexual and reproductive rights being a basic human right; it also encourages the training of family planning workers and assists in the development and dissemination of information, education, and communication materials regarding family planning. [3] The association also encourages the use of contraceptives and facilitates their community-based distribution [4]. The FPFJ was one of the most active lobbying organizations for the legalization of oral contraceptives in Japan, and has shown political tact in advocating for the maintenance of the legal status of abortion in Japan. [5]
The FPFJ has a convoluted history with abortion, which permits it both to be "leading the pro-choice movement" [6] and to produce publications such as Harmful Effects of Induced Abortions [7].
