14th ESC Congress / 2nd Global ESC Conference

The title of the congress 'From molecular biology to social science and politics' is not only that of our programme, it is also a promise and a challenge. Our wish is to respond to the multi-dimensional aspects of contraception and reproductive health in general because we firmly believe that one of the most important contributing factors to women's health is the right for all women everywhere on this globe:

- to decide when to have a child and how many children to have, by accessing contraceptive methods that meet their needs;
- to have a safe and protected pregnancy and delivery by accessing adequate obstetric care;
- to enjoy their sexual life and be protected from violence and abuse by secure sexual rights for women and access to sexual health care.

To make this dream come true, professionals of very different and distinct specialities must work together, exchange ideas, discuss and take action. This congress will provide the opportunity to create and maintain multidisciplinary networks between individuals, organisations and continents.

We look forward to welcoming you to Basel in May 2016.
