This indicator measures the extent to which married women aged 15-49, who express a desire for family planning options,
find their needs adequately met through various methods. It provides a crucial insight into the accessibility and efficacy of reproductive health services, reflecting not only the availability of contraceptive options but also the cultural, social, and economic factors influencing women's choices. High percentages in this measure suggest a supportive environment for family planning, contributing to women's empowerment, improved maternal health outcomes, and enhanced quality of life. Conversely, lower percentages can indicate significant gaps in service provision, stigma, or lack of information, highlighting areas for policy intervention and resource allocation to ensure that reproductive rights are upheld and women's health needs are prioritized.
