World Vasectomy Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World Vasectomy Day (WVD) is an annual event held on the third Friday in November to raise global awareness of vasectomy as a male-oriented solution to prevent unintended pregnancies.[1] The goal is for doctors all over the world to perform vasectomies, connected to the event via Skype and social media platforms.
WVD was founded in 2012 by the American film-maker Jonathan Stack while he was working on a documentary about the decision of having a vasectomy.[2] The underlying goal was to involve men in family planning decisions and educate them about vasectomies as a simple way of taking responsibility for birth control.
