The NPO Pulusu Aruha (Saitama City, Representative Director Yoko Kitano), which provides information on mental health, has released an information page and leaflets about 'after-pills' (emergency contraception) for young people and their supporters. Since 2026, after-pills have become available for purchase at some pharmacies and drugstores, but information on how to use them remains limited. The newly released page organizes information on how to buy them, how to get a prescription at a hospital, estimated costs, safety, and consultation services. Additionally, a PDF leaflet that supporters can distribute to young people has been made available. These materials were created with the intention of being distributed during normal times at schools and support agencies, not just for those who need them immediately. The leaflets are available in two sizes and can be downloaded for free.
