In Namibia, you can only access emergency contraceptive pills (morning after pills) by prescription.<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/namibia/ EC Status and Availability: Namibia]</ref>
Generally speaking, emergency contraceptive pills are not commonly used in Namibia. While the data is old, in 2006-07, it was found that 1.6% of women had ever used ECPs and about 21% had knowledge of ECPs.<ref>[http://www.cecinfo.org/country-by-country-information/status-availability-database/countries/namibia/ EC Status and Availability: Namibia]</ref>

'''Note:''' The longest-lasting EC is currently [http://www.ellaone.com/ ellaOne]. It lasts up to 5 days (120 hours) after unprotected sex. Check to see if your country carries ellaOne. If your country doesn't carry ellaOne, copper IUDs may also prevent pregnancy up to 5 days after unprotected sex. If none of these options are available, and it's been over 3 days since you had unprotected sex, you can still take EC, which may work up to 5 days. Note that EC pills are not 100% effective and should be taken as soon as possible.
