“…This is attributed to the conservative beliefs in uenced by earlier statements from the doctrine of the church against the use of contraception in general. These ndings align with a study conducted in Nigeria, which also reported that tubal ligation was opposed by many religious beliefs [31]. The odds of female sterilization were higher among women from rich household compared to their counterparts from poorer households.…”

Background Female sterilization is a safe and effective surgical procedure of achieving contraception. There is disparity in the prevalence of female sterilization globally, with high income countries having higher rates than low- and middle-income countries. However, current evidence of the uptake of female sterilization in Rwanda is not known. We therefore evaluated the prevalence and factors associated with female sterilization among women of reproductive age in Rwanda. Methodology This was a secondary data analysis of 14,634 women of reproductive age (15-49) in Rwanda. The data utilized was from the Rwanda Demographic Health and Survey (RDHS) 2019/2020. The predictors of female sterilization were determined using multivariable binary logistic regression. Results We found that the prevalence of female sterilization was 1.1% among women of reproductive age in Rwanda. Women older than 35 years had about 8 times higher chance of being sterilized as compared to younger women (aOR: 7.87, 95% CI: 4.77-12.99). Women living with their partners had higher odds of being sterilized as compared to never married women(aOR: 19.23, 95% CI: 4.57-80.82), while women from minority religion are more likely to be sterilized as compared to those of the catholic religion(aOR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.03- 4.37).Women from rich household had higher chance to be sterilized as compared to their counterparts from poor household (aOR: 3.13, 95% CI: 1.94-5.03). Women from western region were more likely to accept sterilization compared to women from Kigali (aOR: 2.025, 95% CI: 1.17-3.49) and women who had more than 5 children had higher odds as compared to women who had 5 or less children (aOR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.06-2.10). Conclusion The overall prevalence of sterilization among Rwandan women of reproductive age was 1.1%, which was very low as compared to India (29%), China (14.1%) and United States of America (13.7 %). The age, marital status, religion, household wealth quintile, region and children ever born were associated with the uptake of female sterilization among Rwandan women. Public enlightenment campaign on the advantages of female sterilization should be done to improve uptake.

“…Finding for this study is concordant with ndings studies conducted in Ethiopia and Uganda which revealed that women aged between 35 and 49 years had thirty-six and three times high odds in Uganda and Ethiopia respectively compared to younger women (26, 28). However, this contradict with a study conducted in India where the sterilization uptake was higher in women younger than 30 years old (8).Women belonging to traditional, no religious and other minority religions had more odds sterilization compared to the women from catholic religion this is because believers are conservatives on the earlier church fathers statement condemning the use of contraception in general, ndings of this study is in line with a study conducted in Nigeria saying that tubal ligation was against by many religious beliefs (29). Odds of female sterilization were high in women from rich household wealth quintile compared to their counterparts from poor household wealth quintiles, this is because women from poor household quintile do need more children expecting to get support from their children which is linked with the wealth ow theory of fertility (30).…”

Background Female sterilization is a safe and effective surgical procedure of achieving contraception. Female sterilization is commoner in high income countries as compared to low- and middle-income countries such as Rwanda because of demand to limit family size. However, current evidence of the uptake of female sterilization in Rwanda is not known. We therefore evaluated the prevalence and factors associated with female sterilization among women of reproductive age in Rwanda. Methodology This was a secondary data analysis of 14,634 women of reproductive age (15-49) in Rwanda. The data utilized was from the Rwanda Demographic Health and Survey (RDHS) from 2016 to 2020. The predictors of female sterilization were determined using multivariable binary logistic regression. Results Findings of this study revealed that the prevalence of female sterilization was 1.1% among women of reproductive age in Rwanda. Older than 35 years old women had 8 times more chance to get sterilized than younger women (aOR: 7.87, 95% CI: 4.77-12.99). Women living with their partners had more odds compared to never married women(aOR: 19.225, 95% CI: 4.57-80.82), women from minority religion are more likely to get sterilized compared to those from catholic religion(aOR: 2.12, 95% CI: 1.03- 4.37), women from rich household had more chance to get sterilized compared to their counterparts from poor household (aOR: 3.13, 95% CI: 1.94-5.03), women from western region were more likely to uptake sterilization compared to women from Kigali (aOR: 2.025, 95% CI: 1.17-3.49) and women who had more than 5 children had more odds compared to women who had equal or less than 5 children (aOR: 1.49, 95% CI: 1.06-2.10). Conclusion The overall prevalence of sterilization among Rwandan women of reproductive age was 1.1%, which was very low as compared to India 29%, China 14.1% and USA 13.7 %. The age, marital status, religion, household wealth quintile, region and children ever born was associated with the uptake of female sterilization among Rwandan women. Government and stakeholders should enhance mobilization about the permanent methods.
