One in 10 women in the country still use harmful and unsafe methods to terminate an unintended pregnancy.
A new report released on Friday showed that a small fraction of women still use unsafe methods such as inserting sharp objects into the vagina, drinking a toxic or caustic substance or taking inappropriate medication to induce abortion.
According to the report, a survey conducted between April 2023 and May 2024 showed that 72 per cent of women had used at least one method that is recommended by the World Health Organisation.
