What are the Consequences of Limited Access to Contraception?
Limited access to contraception can lead to a range of adverse outcomes. These include unintended pregnancies, increased risk of maternal and infant mortality, and a higher incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Unintended pregnancies can lead to unsafe abortions, which are a major cause of maternal mortality. Additionally, lack of contraception can hinder women's educational and economic opportunities, perpetuating cycles of poverty.
