Line 13: Line 13:


In 2015, it was estimated that about 21% of women in Togo (who were married/in unions and between the ages of 15-49) were using any form of contraception, including traditional methods. This was higher than the West African regional average (about 17% of women). The most common forms of contraception were injectables (7% of women), implants (5% of women), pills (2% of women), and condoms (2% of women). IUDs and female sterilization were used by less than 1% of women, respectively. Some traditional methods were also used, such as the rhythm method (2% of women).<ref name=un2015_togo>[https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf United Nations: Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref>
