The number of women using family planning is at a new high. The latest UN figures show 64% of women aged 15 to 49 who are married or living with a partner use some form of contraception, up from 36% in 1970.
Despite the progress, about 225 million women who want to delay or avoid pregnancy do not have access to any method of contraception. Barriers to access include a limited choice of contraceptive methods, poor quality family planning services and cultural or religious opposition. Young or unmarried people can face particular problems accessing services.
