The attainment of zero unmet need for family planning is one of the main objectives of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) (TURKSTAT, 2020) and one of the main commitment of the Nairobi Summit held in the 25th year of the International Conference on Population and Development (ICPD+25) (ICPD25, 2019). Fulfilling the need for family planning, especially with modern methods has been among the international goals in the previous years. In the London Summit on Family Planning held in 2012, it was aimed to provide access to modern contraceptive for 120 million more women by 2020 (Moazzam et al, 2013). This document presents a data-based analysis of the unmet need for family planning in Turkey in light of the global and national goals, state and risks.
