From those 126 husbands who have negative perceptions on gender equality, 64 people of them (50.80%) have a low participation in Family Planning Programs, whereas 62 people (49.20%) of them have a high level participation in Family Planning Programs. Out of 95 husbands having the positive perceptions about gender equality, there were 34 people (35.80%) have a low level participation in Family Planning Program and the remaining number of 61 people (64.20%) have a high level participation in the program mentioned. Husbands possessing such negative perceptions on gender equality in family planning had 1.852 times chances to have a low participation in family planning than those possessing positive perception.
