From supplies to counselling: Where in the EU is it easiest to access contraceptives?
The researchers who compiled the 2025 Atlas recognised the policy developments in countries such as Austria, Ireland, and Luxembourg.
They also recommended that policymakers extend coverage, enhance counselling services (particularly in rural and remote areas), and monitor the development of new technologies to combat misinformation and guarantee reproductive autonomy for all Europeans.
According to the latest available figures, 8.5% of women in Europe aged 15–49 want to stop or delay having children, but are not using contraception.
