If people are empowered take charge of their bodies, they can better take charge of their lives.

Promoting and investing in reproductive and sexual health and rights (RSHR) saves lives, improves health, increases educational opportunities and contributes to realising human rights and gender equality.

There are more than 140 million women in the Asia Pacific region who need access to modern methods of contraception. Additionally, the Pacific has one of the highest cervical cancer death rates in the world despite it being a preventable disease.

Family Planning NSW’s mission is to enhance the RSHR of communities by supporting all people to have control over and decide freely on all matters related to their reproductive and sexual health throughout their life. We have been supporting communities in the Pacific for 15 years annually reaching 14,000 people across 11 Pacific countries with our programs.

Every donation you make to our international projects will be combined with funding from the Australian Government to reach more people. We have committed to contribute $1 for every $5 we receive from the Australian Government. Your donation will improve access to vital RSHR services in the Pacific.

You can help

Investing in family planning is one of the most cost-effective interventions in global health and development.

For every $1 spent on:

• contraceptive services saves $2.20 in maternal and newborn healthcare
• cervical cancer prevention returns an estimated $5 to the economy
• comprehensive sexuality education saves $3 in medical and social costs
