France is really going one step ahead of the rest and making condoms free of cost for anyone aged between 18 to 25.
The country says it is stepping up measures to help fight against the growing number of s*xual transmitted diseases and that’s why they feel what better way to do that than this.
All free condoms would be found at pharmacies located around the nation, the country’s President confirmed and those who fail to follow this law would be dealt with harshly, officials revealed.
Emmanuel Macron made the decision through a press briefing held on Thursday. He said the nation is really trying hard to reduce the rate of unwanted pregnancies and so it’s now taking desperate measures for desperate situations.
The government has confirmed that all young individuals will be given condoms for free starting in January. And with just one month away, it’s definitely some startling news that is being welcomed by many with open arms.
Other nations like Australia are definitely noticing and feel that might be the right step forward as many nations are going through a crisis that could best be curbed through such strict means.
The decision was taken at an event held in honor of the public youth. Just this year, we heard the news about France making contraception free for all women until the age of 26 as the country experienced a 31% rise in STIs this year.
Do you think this decision taken by the French Government would benefit in lowering the number of unwanted pregnancies or not? Let us know and be sure to SHARE the story with others too.
