Editing Compulsory sterilization (section)

=== Colombia ===
The time period of 1964–1970 started Colombia's population policy development, including the foundation of PROFAMILIA and through the Ministry of Health the family planning program promoted the use of IUDs, the Pill, and sterilization as the main avenues for contraception. By 2005, Colombia had one of the world's highest contraceptive usage rates at 76.9%, with female sterilization being the highest percentage of use at just over 30% (second highest is the IUD at around 12% and the pill around 10%)<ref>{{Cite book|title=Against the Odds: Colombia's Role in the Family Planning Revolution|last=Measham and Lopez-Escobar|first=Anthony, Guillermo|publisher=World Bank Publisher|year=2007|pages=121–135}}</ref> (Measham and Lopez-Escobar 2007). In Colombia during the 1980s, sterilization was the second most popular choice of pregnancy prevention (after the Pill), and public healthcare organizations and funders (USAID, AVSC, IPPF) supported sterilization as a way to decrease abortions rates. While not directly forced into sterilization, women of lower socio-economic standing had significantly less options to afford family planning care as sterilizations were subsidized.<ref name=":8">{{Cite book|title=Reproductive Rights and Wrongs: The Global Politics of Population Control|last=Hartmann|first=Betsy|publisher=Haymarket Books|year=2016|location=Chicago}}</ref>
