In 2015, it was estimated that about 24% of women in Somalia (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). However, the majority of women did not use modern methods. The most common forms of contraception were various traditional methods (17% of women). Meanwhile, the most common modern methods were contraceptive pills (4% of women), injectables (1% of women), and IUDs (less than 1% of women).<ref name=un2015_COUNTRY>[https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/publications/pdf/family/trendsContraceptiveUse2015Report.pdf United Nations: Trends in Contraceptive Use Worldwide 2015]</ref> | |||
