The fight for family planning in Spain during late Francoism and the transition to democracy, 1965-1979 Ortiz Gómez, Teresa Ignaciuk Klemba, Agata This paper examines the funding and early development (1965-1979) of the Spanish family planning movement. This movement was composed of two branches: one medical, the other feminist. In spite of their different roots, the two branches had complementary interests, and during the years 1976-1979 they cooperated in the dissemination of contraception and sexual education, the establishment and consolidation of private and public family planning centers and the promotion of a new, more egalitarian (woman) patient-doctor relationship. The movement’s final achievement was the legalization of the sale and advertisement of contraception in 1978, followed by the incorporation of family planning in the Spanish public health care system. This research is based on oral history interviews with feminist activists and doctors involved in the movement, print media from the period, and archival material. 2024-01-30T08:45:04Z 2024-01-30T08:45:04Z 2018-06-12 journal article https://hdl.handle.net/10481/87538 10.1353/jowh.2018.0013 eng http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/ open access Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional Johns Hopkins University Press
