Millions around the world grapple with the deeply personal struggle of infertility. A recent WHO report highlights this reality, stating that one in six individuals of reproductive age experience it. This silence surrounding infertility can take a significant emotional toll on couples trying to build a family. In India alone, the birth rate per woman has declined by 0.79% since 2023 (current fertility rate is 2.122 births per woman). Globally, nearly 186 million people and 48 million couples face infertility.
The victims of this silent struggle slowly lose an immense amount of their mental, emotional, and physical strength. This blog is here to raise community knowledge of infertility to empower and educate individuals & couples to take action that will strengthen support networks and bring about understanding and change.

As per the WHO, infertility can be divided into two groups:
Infertility is complex, with many aspects. In this case, there is a need for empathy, understanding, and sensitivity on the part of individuals and the community at large. Silence can be broken if people open up to each other about their infertility experiences. Better communication about reproductive health that improves understanding and empathy among community members provides more supportive networks and makes treatment choices known will be achieved.
For communities to understand infertility, fertility information must be raised. Here are some ways to educate communities:
Being infertile can be physically and psychologically taxing on an individual or a couple. Since getting pregnant involves understanding and support from both partners, infertility should be viewed as a shared experience rather than a blame game between couples. In short, by creating a climate that recognises the complex concerns underlying fecundity, we can assist people or couples in starting families.
