Understanding the “unmet need” of the African woman

The massive world-wide contraceptive campaign that has gained a lot of clout and traction in the last few years has been based on the “unmet need” for artificial contraceptive drugs and devices especially in the poor and developing countries.

So, armed with this ambiguous but powerful term, wealthy population control enthusiasts have unleashed their multi-billion dollar contraceptive projects on millions of women in Africa , many of whom have neither demanded nor asked for it. Women who could use some real humanitarian assistance and help in getting good education, medical care, agricultural programs as well as sustainable food and water projects in their communities.
But instead , they get help in sterilisation and contraception , all under the umbrella term of “unmet need”.
One can’t help but ask – what exactly is UNMET NEED ?

According to an unbelievable wordplay in a pro-contraceptive article in the Lancet :Total demand of contraceptive = Total contraceptive use (any method) + Unmet need

This actually implies that even the millions of women who have religious , cultural or other objections to contraception have been labelled and counted ,by the wealthy donors (like UN and Gates Foundation ) , as having “unmet need” for contraceptive. In the biased opinion of these wealthy donors, a poor woman who personally objects to contraception still needs it even though she has not demanded it.

Is this a form of imperialism ?
