In 2015, it was estimated that about 15% of women in Niger (who were married/in unions and between the ages of 15-49) were using any form of contraception, including traditional methods. This was lower than the Western African average (about 17% of women). Furthermore, it was estimated that about 18% had unmet family planning needs, which was lower than the Western African average ( 24% of women). It should be understood that modern contraceptive methods are not very popular, with only 10% of women using modern methods. The most common forms of contraception were oral contraceptives/birth control pills (about 7% of women), various traditional methods (about 6% of women), and injectables about 3% of women).<ref name="unreport_contraceptives2015">[http://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> | In 2015, it was estimated that about 15% of women in Niger (who were married/in unions and between the ages of 15-49) were using any form of contraception, including traditional methods.
