Abstract
The contraceptive use among Myanmar–Mon women migrant workers in terms of gender perspective which can have an impact on the implementation of family planning. There were 3 key
findings as follows: Firstly, women migrant workers did not know men could do contraception. Secondly, they have known men could do contraception as women but they believed that men did not want to do it. Finally, they have known men could do contraception as women but they could not bargain men do it. Having children in terms of Myanmar–Mon women migrant workers’ belief, they believe in having children is not only a human breeding but also fulfill the feminine values so that having multiple children could show the maternal conditions whether it be the good health condition, high virtue and good fortune. Therefore, these all contraceptive believes need to be considered. Consequently, in the implementation of family planning, the health care provider should play an important role in giving information about choosing contraceptive methods which have the least influence toward working life and family incomes for Myanmar–Mon women migrant workers. Moreover, they should consider about cultural belief that related to having children and returning to fertility after stopping birth control
