Last night, we co-hosted a @UN General Assembly event with @GAC_Corporate, @MofaNepal, @SheDecidesGFI, @FP2030Global & @CanWaCH.
There was energy and defiance in the room, as leaders at #UNGA shared why they #ChooseChoice in the face of the global anti-rights movement.

In 2022, MSI proudly supported 82,000 women and girls to access the power of reproductive choice every single day.
Across 37 countries, we supported 21 million people with their reproductive health, saving the lives of 42,600 women and girls.

The situation in Afghanistan is untenable and our female employees are essential for the delivery of our work. Without them, we simply cannot operate. We will work with other NGOs to insist on the reinstatement of all female employees immediately #Afghanistan #WomensRights

Campaigns on abortion care from @MSI_Australia have reportedly been blocked by Google.
As we find out more, clients in Australia can contact MSI via 1300 003 707.
We continue to advocate for a world where everyone, everywhere can access information on their reproductive health.

1. It's my birthday today and I only want one thing.
I want these two women, Niloofar Hamedi and Elahe Mohammadi, to be famous.
Niloofar and Elahe are Iranian reporters who reported on the death of Mahsa Zhina Amini.
They are now in prison and could face the death penalty.

We don't provide services in the USA: (never thought we would need to!) but many do, and the National Abortion Hotline can connect you to the right advice and services. @NatAbortionFed @carafem @PPFA
Kansas abortion vote: Major victory for pro-choice groups - odd that, when women to get vote for their rights, they overwhelmingly support abortion! bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-cana…

With reproductive rights under attack in the U.S., we’re so pleased to see this incredible progress in Nigeria to #ProtectChoice 🇳🇬 🎉
The Lagos State Ministry of Health @LSMOH in collaboration with MSI Nigeria today, launched the Guidelines on the Safe Termination of Pregnancy for Legal Indications in Lagos state.
This guideline addresses the confusion on the legal provisions for safe abortion services.
A powerful example from AOC of the ignorance and lack of humanity that is driving the anti-choice agenda.
As we have done for 46 years, we will continue to provide safe abortion to everyone who needs it, and fight for the rights of those who will now be denied it. The Court’s decision is regressive and undemocratic. Maternal mortality will rise. #RoeVsWade #abortion
BREAKING: the #RoeVWade decision we feared is here—the Court has overturned the right to abortion care in the US.
🧵 on what this will mean for millions of people in the US and the impact on abortion rights around the world ⬇️

In Ethiopia today and just blown away by the ingenuity and commitment of our MSI Maternity Centre teams, delivering outstanding clinical quality and full sustainability, with 1000’s of satisfied clients! @MarieStopesEth you are doing great things.
It was an honour to meet @lia_tadesse today and discuss how we can support greater access to contraception in conflict affected communities, and to continue our strong partnership of 30 years. Her leadership in support of SRHR is an example for all.
Pleased to receive @SimonCookeMSI CEO of Marie Stopes International & his team from Africa regional office & @MarieStopesEth.
