Study: 160 million women without access to contraceptives

According to a study, more than 160 million women and young people still have an unmet need for contraceptives, despite significant global progress. An international team of researchers, which published its worldwide estimate based on over 1000 surveys in the specialist journal "The Lancet", found large regional differences. It has been estimated that a total of 1.2 billion women in the world need contraception. 162.9 million of them could not cover their needs in 2019.
