Marie Stopes International

Contraception

In 2008 MSI centres and associated activities provided family planning services that resulted in 13.5 million Couple Years of Protection (CYP) from over 6 million client visits.[2] These contraceptive choices included:

- over 570,000 sterilisations - tubal ligation and vasectomy

- over 502,000 Intra-Uterine Contraceptive Devices (IUCD) or Gynefix

- Implants and contraceptive injections

- Emergency contraceptive pills

- 143 million male and female condoms
[edit] Social Marketing

MSI runs contraceptive social marketing programmes in 17 countries - such as the Kushi contraceptive pill and injectable in India[3], Raha condom and Smart Lady emergency contraceptive pill in Kenya[4], Lifeguard condom in Uganda[5] and Snake condom in Australia aimed at the Aboriginal market[6].
[edit] Expansion

In 2008 MSI opened in Mexico City State where legislative change has enabled improved access to abortion services[7].
[edit] Politics

Marie Stopes International was displeased at the election of Pope Benedict XVI in 2005, saying It looks like this particular cardinal will continue with the line on contraception, condoms, and HIV prevention that Pope John Paul II had. It’s regrettable because that will impact so terribly on the lives of millions of people, particularly in the developing world.. [8] Edward C. (Ted) Green, past Senior Research Scientist at the Harvard School of Public Health, is cited in the article on him in Wikipedia as supporting the pope’s emphasis, including monogamy and circumcision, while arguing that the secular and biomedical approaches are not proved to have been successful, since, for example, emphasis on condoms promotes the promiscuity that promotes HIV AIDS. The pope has in effect gone along with Green’s point that use of condoms can be of secondary assistance in preventing the spread of AIDS....
