PAI advocates for women and families to have access to contraception in order to improve their health, reduce poverty and protect their environment.
(3)
PAI uses research and advocacy to improve access to family planning and reproductive health care across the world so women and families can prosper and live in balance with the earth. Our research and advocacy strengthen U.S. and international assistance for family planning. We work with local and national leaders in developing countries to improve their reproductive health care programs and policies. PAI shows how these programs are critical to global concerns, such as preventing HIV, combating the effects of environmental degradation and climate change, and strengthening national security.
Mission: PAI works to ensure that every person has the right and access to sexual and reproductive health, so that humanity and the natural environment can exist in balance and fewer people live in poverty.

In #Ghana, @MarieStopes_Gh is advocating for #UHC policies that prioritize #SRHR. Read how the org is working to fill a critical #familyplanning access gap and bolster the evidence base for policymakers. https://pai.org/resources/decoding-country-level-uhc-financing-policy-family-planning-advocacy-in-ghana/
Read @PAI’s blog post featuring @ANJSRPF’s Aminata Badiane Thioye on why participation of young people is vital for #SRHR in COVID-19 responses https://bit.ly/2GX1t9K
Civil society advocates play a key role in ensuring SRH services and information remain available—and not deprioritized—during a health emergency. Read @FP2020 and @PAI’s recommendations for advocacy during and beyond #COVID19 https://bit.ly/3nKtKRw
Governments have a duty to protect their people, and are accountable to the people. Solidarity with protesters in #Nigeria fighting for the end of recurring police brutality at the hands of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad. #EndSarsNow #BlackLivesMatter
As the number of #COVID19 cases rises worldwide, many advocates that PAI supports continue to adjust their work in order to address barriers to #SRH in the midst of the crisis. Read how flexibility is key in our latest Fall Catalyst newsletter https://pai.org/resources/protecting-sexual-and-reproductive-health-and-rights-during-a-crisis/
Through the #UHC Engage project, PAI and partners collaborated to develop briefs to demystify national UHC financing policy and #familyplanning advocacy opportunities in Ghana, India, Kenya and Uganda. @MarieStopes_Gh @sahayogindiaa @Kmet_Kenya @ppdafrica https://bit.ly/3jkJnfi
Women, especially in rural areas, play a crucial role in their community development. On #InternationalDayOfRuralWomen, PAI continues to empower and support their right to:
✔️ Supportive Policies & Funding
✔️ Quality & Equitable Healthcare
On #IndigenousPeoplesDay, we must recognize the legacy of erasure, colonial oppression and white supremacy against indigenous communities — in the U.S. and globally — and honor their histories, cultures and voices.
Progress for adolescent girls has not kept pace with the realities they face today. On #InternationalDayoftheGirlChild, PAI celebrates these young women and continues to affirm their right to access to #SRH services in their communities.

On #InternationalSafeAbortionDay, it is time to set aside laws and policies that restrict access to safe abortion. #RepealHelms www.repealhelms.org
Contraceptives can transform the lives of girls and women by increasing their time in school, raising their wages at work and putting them in charge of their futures. Affirm this right to #contraceptives by becoming a monthly donor to PAI. #WCD2020 https://bit.ly/FMGC20
On Monday, the Trump admin published a new proposed rule to extend the #GlobalGagRule to global health contracts. Read PAI's latest Washington Memo analysis on how this is a harmful hit https://bit.ly/2FRo06U by @CLasherPA
Sexual and reproductive health and bodily autonomy are basic human rights that all governments have a duty to respect, protect and fulfill. PAI supports advocates working to ensure safe abortion is legalized, decriminalized and liberalized. https://pai.org/issues/abortion/
The @theGFF is implemented through government-led multistakeholder country platforms to advance reproductive, maternal, newborn, child and adolescent health and nutrition. But how effective are they? This new assessment provides a detailed analysis https://bit.ly/2YZ0qvW
Youth-led organizations are integral to improving policy & funding for the most pressing #SRHR issues facing young people. YOUAccess provides technical & financial support to these advocates, resulting in positive change that elevates the next generation. https://pai.org/projects/youaccess/
For women and girls to control their own futures, they must have the ability to make decisions about their bodies. Access to information and services, including the full range of #contraceptive options, allows them to decide if & when they become pregnant. https://pai.org/issues/contraception/

This #WorldHumanitarianDay, we honor the lifesaving work of aid and health workers, but also recognize that not all crisis settings have humanitarian workers present, including in IDP settings.

On this #InternationalYouthDay, we uplift the voices of young people advocating for the issues impacting their lives.
Indigenous communities throughout Latin America & the Caribbean are disproportionately impacted by #COVID19. As we recognize #WorldIndigenousPeoplesDay, we must ensure that the diverse needs of these communities are being met with their participation & leadership in the process.

“I believe that the church has a big role to play in influencing people’s health at family and individual levels.” -Dr. Ruth Obaikol, Provincial Health Coordinator for the Church of Uganda. In many developing countries, faith-based organizations are key health care advocates and providers, delivering a significant proportion of healthcare services, including reproductive, maternal and newborn care. In Uganda, faith-based organizations deliver more than 25% of all health services. Faith Plus Family Planning is a PAI initiative that provides faith-based organizations in the developing world with small grants and technical support to hold governments accountable for providing quality family planning and reproductive health services.

The Global Gag Rule is dangerous, disingenuous and designed to confuse. The expanded policy leads to poor health outcomes for women, girls and families around the world and the ripple effect damages effective health partnerships, stifles communication between health care providers and threatens global health security. Do you think you really know the Global Gag Rule? Watch our new video to learn more.
Couldn't join our Global Gag Rule tweet chat? Watch our video "30 Years is Enough" to get all the details on this destructive policy. #GGR30th
Thank you, Congressman Eric Swalwell for standing up for women worldwide! The fight to protect women's rights is far from over. Share this video to remind the world that women's rights are human rights.
PAI President and CEO Suzanne Ehlers explains why promising to donate to family planning isn't enough — we've got to hold donors accountable and make sure they follow through with their pledges. Read more from Devex: www.bit.ly/1bqX3B1

The film documents the challenges at each level of the supply chain and identifies key areas for improvement. Empty Handed aims to provoke discussion and mobilize support for reproductive health supplies
