The contraceptive acceptance rate prevalence was 37.4% (95% CI: 20.5, 27.3).Nearly 60% were used injectable contraceptive. Religion (AOR = 11.6, 95%CI: 2.12, 63.62), husband approved utilization (AOR = 7.68, 95%CI: 1.37, 43.15), women who have children after joining street begging (AOR = 10.18, 95%CI: 3.84, 17.26) were significantly associated with contraceptive utilization; but those who sleep at the night on the street use contraceptive less likely (AOR = 0.21, 95%CI:0.05, 0.92).Conclusion: This study found high prevalence of the contraceptive acceptance among beggar women in south Ethiopia.
