"The UN reckons that the share of Ethiopian women aged 15-49 who use some form of contraception has risen from 6% in 2000 to 40% last year."
What a remarkable statistic. While 40% is still far from ideal, it does show that the push for sexual education has been at least somewhat successful.
- stevoski 11y agoTake UN statistics for a country like Ethiopia with a huge grain of salt. It is mostly just guesswork and later revisions tend to be extreme. It is not quite the UN's fault - I'm sure their raw data comes with caveats. It is hard for anybody to get accurate data for a country with Ethiopian-style government, administration, and infrastructure.
