Men have just two contraceptive options: condoms or vasectomy. Meanwhile, 121 million unintended pregnancies happen every year - roughly half of all pregnancies worldwide. It's time for new options. FOR EVERYONE. 🔬Our publication on #MaleContraceptives is coming soon!

Investing in #FamilyPlanning saves lives. Using our data, @dsw-intl.bsky.social's new report estimates that $116 million from EU institutions in 2023 enabled access to modern contraception for nearly 11 million women & couples, helping to save nearly 3,000 lives. See more: gu.tt/3SEai9Q

Does size matter? Bigger economies with their higher aid budgets naturally tend to allocate bigger absolute amounts of funding to SRHR. But when putting these funding amounts into perspective, comparing them to overall #ODA, it’s not necessarily the bigger players who champion #SRHR.

🚨 Every week in 2023, 4,000 adolescent girls & young women (15–24) were newly infected with #HIV — UNAIDS. Political & financial backsliding threatens to widen the gender gap in HIV impact. A vaccine would be transformative, especially for those at highest risk. #HIVAwarenessDay2025

Devastating to hear yesterday's news from the UK about plans to cut overseas aid. The UK has a long tradition of strongly supporting #SRHR in its international cooperation. Cuts to aid would have dramatic consequences on women and girls in LMICs www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Starmer’s cuts to UK aid budget are ‘cruel and shameful’, say experts

Reduction to 0.3% of gross national income in order to fund defence spending has been decried as a ‘move to appease Trump’
