Improving women's knowledge of family planning sources
Description
Improving women's knowledge of family planning sources involves systematically increasing access to accurate, culturally appropriate information about available contraceptive methods and services. This strategy empowers women to make informed reproductive choices, addresses misinformation, and reduces barriers such as stigma or lack of awareness. Practical actions include community outreach, integrating family planning education into healthcare services, and leveraging media campaigns, thereby directly remedying unmet contraceptive needs and supporting women's health and autonomy.
Implementation
In countries where over a third of women give birth before the age of 18, only 50% on average knew of a source of family planning advice. In countries where less than 10% of women give birth before the age of 18, the average was almost 97%.
