Fair Start Movement was formed by a group of individuals and families who care deeply about children, democracy, the natural world, and our future.  They are now working to find and implement solutions, through laws, policy, culturally, and a variety of institutions. Having published some of the first and most comprehensive analyses of truly human rights-based family planning, Fair Start Movement is dedicated to promoting the Fair Start family planning model as the solution to many of the world’s problems. Real change starts at the source, and begins with speaking truth to power at the most fundamental level.
