In Benin, contraceptive options are available, and public health facilities are required to provide family planning services. However, public health facilities sometimes struggle from stock-outs or a lack of trained personnel, especially in rural or remote areas. Generally speaking, contraceptive usage is not very high among women. In 2015, it was estimated that about 14% of women, aged 15-49, used any form of contraception (modern or traditional), and only 9% used modern methods. Unplanned pregnancies are fairly common, with an estimated 19% of births unplanned.<ref>[https://www.guttmacher.org/fact-sheet/contraceptive-use-benin Guttmacher Institute: Contraceptive Use in Benin]</ref> | |||
