Morphology

birth-control + campaigner

The phrase is fully compositional: 'campaigner' denotes a person who campaigns and 'birth-control' specifies the cause, so the combined meaning — a person who campaigns for birth control/family planning — follows directly from the parts. This cause+agent compound is a productive, cross-linguistic pattern in English, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the meaning.

Etymology

Birth-control campaigner comes from the image of a person running a public 'campaign' who gives talks and hands out leaflets to promote ways to control births and family size. So a birth-control campaigner is someone who works to get people to use and accept birth control.
