Pakistani authorities have banned all broadcast
advertisements for contraceptives.
The regulator, Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority
(Pemra), said there had been public complaints that they
prompted curiosity in "innocent children".
Pakistan is a socially conservative country and such
commercials were already rare.
Last year a specific advert for Josh condoms was banned as
"immoral" .
Pakistan, the world's sixth most populous nation, has a lower
rate of access to birth control than the average for the region,
according to the World Health Organization.
