¡°Five Cares¡± in Action
Early 2006, pilot activities of the reproductive Care campaign were initiated on the basis of the success of various programs and actions in support of family planning and reproductive health in many provinces and cities around the country.
CFPA was one of the pioneers of this nationwide campaign and the present CFPA leadership has given ¡°Five Care¡± a high priority in its work agenda. |

HIV/AIDS
It is estimated that 650,000 people are already hit by HIV/AIDS infections in China and 10 million more will be infected by the end of the decade if absence of systematic, community-based education, prevention and care programs continues.
CFPA National Council formally adopted HIV/AIDS prevention education as a core element of the organization¡¯s mission, and launched pilot projects in several provinces, focusing on rural areas by making the best use of CFPA¡¯s extensive network. |

Adolescent
In China, young people between the ages of 10 and 24 constitute one-sixth of China¡¯s population of 1.3 billion and two-thirds of the 140 million migrant workers.
This group is threatened by the consequences of its own sexual and reproductive behaviors and is increasingly at risk for HIV/AIDS. Despite evidence of growing demand, the existing policy and mechanism for providing reproductive health information, counseling, and services to unmarried youth are not comprehensive and adequate. |
