Despite the availability of various contraceptive methods, numerous barriers to contraception persist. These can include:
Cost: The price of contraceptives can be prohibitive for some individuals, particularly in low-income settings. Cultural and Religious Beliefs: Some cultures and religions have prohibitive views on contraception, impacting access and acceptance. Lack of Education: Inadequate knowledge about contraceptive options and their proper use can lead to misuse or non-use. Healthcare Access: Limited access to healthcare services, particularly in rural or underserved areas, can hinder access to contraception. Age Restrictions: Legal and policy barriers that restrict access based on age can prevent adolescents from obtaining contraception.
