MSI Reproductive Choices (Marie Stopes)

"If you empower a woman or a girl, then you’ve empowered a home, you’ve empowered a country and you’ve empowered the world” These are the words of Damaless, a fearless nurse from MSI Reproductive Choices in Zambia who sees the power of reproductive choice first-hand, every day. At MSI Reproductive Choices, we believe that everyone should have the right to decide their own future, on their terms. Our work spans 37 countries providing reproductive healthcare including contraception, safe abortion and post-abortion care. We open doors. Break down stigma. And go further than anyone else to make choice possible for those who need us. For some, choice means the ability to complete their education or start a career. For others, it means being able to look after their family. For everyone, choice means the freedom to determine their own future, creating a fairer, more equal world for all. We have a long road ahead of us. But reproductive choice is foundational in the drive for gender equality and to a future where women and girls take their rightful place in all aspects of society. Our vision for the future is bold. By 2030 no abortion will be unsafe and everyone who wants access to contraception will have it.
