Amman, June 27 : Nearly 15 per cent of Arab women aged between 15 and 49 have unmet family planning needs, according to a statement released by the UN Population Fund (UNFPA).
It is estimated that 13.6 million women, out of a total of 91 million in the 15- to 49-year-old reproductive age range in the Arab region, desire to avoid or delay pregnancy but are not utilising contraceptives, Xinhua news agency quoted the statement as saying. The statement emphasized that the elimination of unmet needs by 2030 is one of the three transformative goals set by the UNFPA.
