RESEARCH ON MARGINALISED WOMEN’S EXPERIENCES OF THE FREE
CONTRACEPTION SCHEME
AIM
The aim of this research project is to investigate women’s awareness
and experiences of the Free Contraception Scheme to date, in addition
to exploring women’s attitudes towards contraception more broadly.
The research will have a particular focus on marginalised women,
including Traveller women, Roma women, disabled women, migrant women,
LGBTQIA+ individuals, women living in rural areas, women who are
socioeconomically disadvantaged, and women who have experienced
homelessness, addiction, or are survivors of gender-based violence.
The Women’s Health Action Plan * recognised
that marginalised women experience the most acute challenges when
engaging with the health care system. The Plan made specific
commitments to rethinking how marginalised women can access healthcare
in ways that are appropriate and convenient to them.
The Free Contraception Scheme, Action 4A of the Women’s Health
Action Plan *, initially allowed women aged
* years to access a range of free
contraceptives. The Scheme has since been expanded under the new
Women’s Health Action Plan * Phase 2: An
Evolution in Women’s Health and now serves women aged **Apply on the
website** years of age. This was warmly welcomed by the Women’s
Health Taskforce of which NWC is a valued member.
By focusing our engagement on marginalised women, this research will
capture a diverse sample of women’s experiences accessing the
Scheme, providing insights into any barriers and participants’
attitudes towards the Scheme and the use of contraceptives.
The final report will include recommendations, aimed at supporting the
Department of Health (DoH) to improve the Scheme for all women.
