Contraceptive use stigma refers to the excessive disapproval of contraceptive use. Women or adolescent girls who use contraceptives or carry condoms are sometimes negatively labelled as promiscuous.

Ensuring access to their preferred contraceptive methods advances several human rights including the right to life and liberty, freedom of opinion and expression and the right to work and education, as well as bringing significant health and other benefits.
