There’s good news and bad news. A new survey indicates the use of contraceptives among sexually active unmarried women has increased from 2% to 12% in the past 10 years.

The National Family Health Survey, 2015-16, which was conducted by the Ministry of Health, states that the maximum condom usage is among unmarried women in the 20-24 age group.

Now the not-so-good news. Keeping up with the rules of a patriarchal society, 3 out of 8 men believed that contraception is ‘women’s business’ and men shouldn’t bother about it.
