This indicator reflects the proportion of currently married women actively utilizing any form of contraception, including both modern and traditional techniques. Modern contraceptive methods encompass a range of options such as female sterilization, male sterilization, hormonal pills, intrauterine devices (IUDs), injections, implants, and various condoms. In contrast, traditional methods involve practices like periodic abstinence, withdrawal, and folk methods. By examining this statistic, we gain insights into the reproductive choices of women and their partners, shedding light on societal trends, gender dynamics, and access to family planning resources. A high percentage may indicate strong
awareness and availability of contraceptive options, playing a vital role in influencing population growth, maternal health, and women's empowerment in the region.
