"The most important thing to advancing contraceptive security is commitment...Without commitment to contraceptive security as a public health problem, you will not see the actions and investments to address some of the other obstacles.  For example, the lack of financing for contraceptives, the lack of affordable contraceptives for all the users in the country, [and] lack of policies that support equitable access to contraceptives."
