Illinois Birth Control League
American advocacy organization / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Illinois Birth Control League (IBCL) was an organization created by the Chicago Citizens' Committee and the Chicago Woman's Club,[1] to provide information and education about birth control. Later, the organization helped create the first birth control clinic in Chicago.[2] The early birth control clinics run by IBCL often had staff members on hand who were fluent in several languages, in order to better serve immigrant communities.[3] The IBCL also sponsored discussions about issues relating to family planning and birth control.[4]
