insight into family planning practices within a population. Modern methods, such as sterilization, hormonal pills, and barrier methods like condoms, empower women to exercise control over their reproductive choices. Meanwhile, traditional methods, including withdrawal and periodic abstinence, signify cultural practices that may persist among some segments of the population. By analyzing this data, stakeholders can identify gaps in contraceptive use and target interventions that promote informed decision-making, enhance education on family planning, and ultimately contribute to improved health outcomes and gender equality in reproductive rights.
