Access to abortion and contraception paves the way to a gender equal world
As a global reproductive healthcare charity, MSI Reproductive Choices is one of the world’s leading organisations supporting women’s health and rights.
Globally, 257 million people want to be using contraception but have no access, and 40% of women live in countries where abortion is banned, restricted or inaccessible.
This isn’t equality.
This is women and girls being denied agency over their own bodies and healthcare, meaning their futures are not in their hands. These women need reproductive choice.
The power of reproductive choice is in its ripple effect. By giving women and girls the power to decide if or when to become pregnant, access to contraception and abortion:
- Saves women’s and girls’ lives
- Enables girls to stay in school
- Helps women build careers and economic stability
- Supports families to have more time and resources
- Drives change in communities
- Expands countries’ economic opportunities
- Builds a fairer world for everyone
Reproductive choice is the gateway to a gender equal world, and that benefits all of us. Help support women’s equality by donating to support choice.
MSI provides the reproductive choices that women and girls need to determine their own futures.
Our teams work across 36 countries, supporting over 93,000 people every day to make choices about their reproductive healthcare and futures. We support people with access to abortion and contraception services, but also broader women’s healthcare, ensuring we’re there for women as their bodies and needs change.
And we don’t just deliver services, we work to change the rules too.
Millions of women and girls around the world are denied access to reproductive choice due to restrictive laws. Through our advocacy, we push to remove these barriers and support women’s equality and reproductive rights for all. And by partnering across the public and private sectors to strengthen sexual and reproductive healthcare, we’re ensuring high quality services are available for the long-term.
“It’s thanks to MSI that I was able to finish my studies. At school, we often see girls who fall pregnant and usually they don’t come back. The experience I had with MSI really helped me, because I could have stopped my studies, but now I’m in my final year. If MSI wasn’t here I don’t know what my life would be like today.”
