‘Only 1 in 10 men use condoms, female sterilisation most common contraceptive’ -Jagriti Chandra and Sumant Sen

We need to change behaviours and social norms as family planning is considered responsibility of women, says NGO

Less than one in 10 men use condoms in India, while nearly four in 10 women undergo sterilisation to avoid pregnancy, according to the latest National Family Health Survey-5 (2019-2021), which also shows that female sterilisation continues to be on the rise including in urban India.

Only 9.5% men used condoms but 37.9% of women underwent sterilisation, according to the NFHS. Though condom use in urban India is better than rural parts, the overall trend is vastly similar — 7.6% men in rural India and 13.6% men in urban India use condoms, while 38.7% women in rural India and 36.3% in urban India underwent sterilisation.
