In 2015, about 20% of Eritrean women (who were married/in unions and between 15-49 years old) used any form of contraception, including traditional methods. This was lower than the Eastern African average, in which about 40% of women used contraception. Furthermore, about 30% of Eritrean women have unmet family planning needs, which is a bit higher than the Eastern African average (about 24% of women). The most common forms of contraception were injectables (8% of women), pills (4% of women), and various traditional methods (3% of women). Other forms of contraception were male condoms (2% of women), IUDs (1% of women), the rhythm method (1% of women), female sterilization (less than 1% of women), and withdrawal (less than 1% of women). There were essentially no recorded users of contraceptive implants, vaginal barrier methods, or male sterilization as their primary form of contraception.<ref>[https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> | |||
