Universal Access to Reproductive Health: Progress and Challenges

2016

This report from the United Nation Population Fund (UNFPA) seeks to identify areas where reproductive health has or has not advanced, according to four main indicators: adolescent birth rate, contraceptive prevalence rate, unmet need for family planning rate, and proportion of demand for contraception satisfied. Universal access to reproductive health affects and is affected by many aspects of life. It involves individuals’ most intimate relationships, including negotiation and decision-making within these relationships, as well as interactions with health providers regarding contraceptive methods and options.
