Before the sun rises, our teams are already on the move. Crossing rivers and driving through deserts, so women can get the contraception and abortion care they need to choose their path in life.

Thank you to our frontline teams who go further every day so women can #ChooseChoice

Important conversation with @abigailmusida about safe abortion. Globally, 45% of abortions are unsafe. We must stand together so that everyone has power over their own bodies. In my new role as a #SheDecides Champion I will continue to support a woman’s right to choose.

[MSI Reproductive Choices @MSIchoices]

We welcome @YvetteCooperMP's speech at the #UNGA80 Beijing+30 event on @FCDOGovUK's commitment to challenging violence against women.

To tackle this, it is essential that women and girls have sexual and reproductive health and rights, free from coercion.

Analysis from @Guttmacher has found that a 70% cut in UK funding for SRHR would result in an estimated 875,000 unsafe abortions, 2.6 million unintended pregnancies, and 2,740 maternal deaths globally.

We cannot step back now; women’s lives depend on it.

[MSI Reproductive Choices @MSIchoices]

Global health journalist @TulipMazumdar recently travelled to Uganda to make a short film for MSI, documenting our programme and the impact of international aid cuts.

She met with women using contraception — and heard what’s at stake when that choice is taken away.

🚨 We deeply regret that the USA has announced its intention to deny future funding to UNFPA.

See what this decision means for the millions of women and girls @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—serves around the world: https://t.co/3hPt5ESy3L

[UNFPA @UNFPA]

🚨 The US’ decision to deny funding for @UNFPA—the @UN sexual and reproductive health agency—is devastating:

🔴 Thousands of clinics will close
🔴 Rape survivors will be denied care
🔴 Midwives will not be able to continue.
