Indicator Summary

The percentage of currently married women aged 15-49 years who have their need for family planning satisfied with modern methods is an important indicator of reproductive health and gender equity. It reflects the proportion of women in this age group whose contraceptive needs are being met through modern methods such as hormonal pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), injectables, implants, condoms, sterilization, or other clinically approved practices. This metric highlights the accessibility, availability, and effective use of modern contraceptives, which are essential for empowering women to make informed decisions about their reproductive lives. A higher percentage indicates better access to reproductive health services, reduced risk of unintended pregnancies, and improved overall well-being of women. The indicator is crucial for monitoring progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 3, which focuses on ensuring healthy lives and promoting well-being, and Goal 5, which emphasizes gender equality and women’s empowerment. Addressing barriers such as lack of education, cultural norms, and limited healthcare infrastructure is vital to improving this metric. It also underscores the need for comprehensive family planning programs that are equitable, affordable, and sensitive to the needs of diverse populations.
