Crossing Continents

on BBC Radio 4 FM

Julian Pettifer visits the Philippines, where the Roman Catholic Church and women's rights activists are clashing over birth control. With one of the fastest-growing populations in the world, experts say family planning is essential to lifting the country out of poverty. With limited access to contraception, many women suffer from unwanted and dangerous pregnancies. Pettifer meets the health workers who are risking the wrath of the church by encouraging birth control.
