The European Parliament launched the Contraception Atlas 2019

Access to contraception should be a key concern of governments in empowering citizens to plan their families and lives. Yet every country analysed by the 2019 Contraception Atlas needs to do more to improve access. The findings show that for many European countries, ensuring that people have choice over their reproductive lives is not a priority. Now in its third edition, the Atlas tracks government policies on access to contraceptive methods, family planning counseling and the provision of online information on contraception in 46 European states.

This initiative is powered by the European Parliamentary Forum for Sexual & Reproductive Rights (EPF) in partnership with a group of experts in sexual and reproductive health and rights who designed the questions and structures.

EPF benefitted from the financial support of MSD to undertake original and independent research which is presented in the Atlas and the MSD Global Innovation Centre for the visualization of the findings. EPF is grateful to the numerous expert national organisations and individuals who contributed to gathering the data presented in the Atlas. The scope and content of the European Contraception Atlas is the sole responsibility of the European Parliamentary Forum on Population & Development (EPF)
