European Network
for
Shared Contraception
Welcome to the website of the ENSC Association, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting and raising awareness of so-called male contraception.
​
Our mission is to facilitate the formation of local user committees and to support volunteers, physicians and people interested in male contraception.
​​
Our Goal
The ENSC Association aims to break taboos and promote an open discussion about sharing the burden of contraception across Europe.
We believe in the importance of education and information to empower men to take responsibility for their fertility and make informed decisions about their reproductive health.
​​
Our actions
We support the creation of local user committees at the request of sexual health centers or even users themselves through various actions:
​​
-
Recruitment and training of volunteers: We meet and place volunteers who want to get involved in user committees. We then offer them training on current and future contraceptive methods and provide them with videos and specific documents to help them organize their consultation hours or events. We also offer a charter for all user committees, which contains a common basis for all countries and articles adapted by the speakers. You can find it here: Committee Charter.
-
Working with referring physicians : We work closely with volunteer and honorary physicians to ensure that the information and advice provided is up to date and in line with the most relevant medical practices. We seek at least one referring doctor for each committee.
-
Provision of information cases: We provide user committees with cases containing resources and information on the various existing and evolving male contraceptive methods, as well as easily shareable online resources.​
