It is time for
new male contraceptives!

Though research into the development of a new male contraceptive began in the 1970s, no method has yet to emerge on the market. In 2016 the ICMC organized and held "The First International Congress on Male Contraception," which brought together health professionals, pharmaceutical representatives, philanthropists, and policy makers to develop the ‘Paris Manifesto’ — a declaration advocating for further research and the development of reliable, reversible and affordable forms of male contraception, with the goal of the first new method on the market by 2026.
