In Brazil, the assistance in family planning keeps the mark of nurses along its history. In 1960, the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), created by nurse Margaret Sanger (1952), headquartered in London, came to finance entities that performed family planning in the country. Margaret Sanger led a group of nurses whose mission was to foster social and political reforms that would restore the nurses' practice. These Nursing leaders observed communities, identified health-related needs and priorities, establishing intervention measures whose lessons remain alive, such as dissemination of information on contraceptive methods, which is extremely important to the decision making of men and women in the reproduction field.
