In 2015, it was estimated that about 28% women in Burundi (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 Eastern African average (about 40% of women). The most common forms of contraception were contraceptive injectables (about 14% of women), IUDs (4% of women), and pills (3% of women). There were low rates of usage for condoms (about 1% of women). Less than 1% of women turned to female or male sterilization as their primary form of contraception. Traditional methods, such as withdrawal (about 2% of women) and the rhythm method (about 2% of women) were also not commonly used.<ref name=un2015_burundi>[https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf United Nations: Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> | |||
