About us:

MSIA, as part of the MSI Reproductive Choices global partnership, is unapologetically pro-choice. We believe that every person has the right to make choices about their own body and their own future. As one of the world’s leading providers of contraception and safe abortion care, MSI gives women and individuals of all sexual and gender orientations the means to do so. Working across 37 countries, MSI provides high quality, safe services, and advocate to create an enabling environment, so every client has safe access to services when and where they are needed. When people can determine their own future, they can contribute to creating a better, more sustainable future for everyone.
