About us

We are Better Birth Control

In 2021, the co-founders of Better Birth Control, Jana and Rita, initiated a petition for better contraception, which not only generated wide public visibility in society and politics, but also resulted in the founding of a non-profit association. Since then, Better Birth Control has been promoting sex education and advising federal policy-makers on providing better and gender equal contraception.

Our achievements and goals

What we do

In eight months, we have successfully incorporated better contraception into the current agenda of German federal policy - but there is more work to be done.

Petition

With our petition for better contraception, we were able to collect more than 130,000 signatures and acquire various supporters for our demands.

German parties

Demands for better contraception were included in the party agendas of the FDP, SPD, Greens and LINKE for the 2021 federal elections.

Federal Government

We were successful in convincing the German government to include the demands for better contraception in the coalition agreement.

Research funding

Up to 60 million euros per year are now available for contraceptive research! The Bundestag Budget Committee has approved a new funding guideline on "Contraceptives for all genders".

Free access to contraceptives

We aim to make equal and free contraception a reality – on a national and international level.
