World Vasectomy Day is the largest male-oriented family planning event globally.

Various forums are being held in several countries to promote the procedure as a healthy and responsible approach to family planning.

In Kenya, during the World Vasectomy Day, men gathered at Nairobi’s National Theatre to view a demonstration and take part in panel discussions about vasectomies.

A growing number of Kenyan men are opting for vasectomies as a form of birth control.

Launched in 2013, World Vasectomy Day seeks to promote a greater understanding of family planning, and encourage men’s participation.
