Association Béninoise pour la Promotion de la Famille
The Association Béninoise pour la Promotion de la Famille (ABPF) has been operating for almost 40 years. ABPF offers family planning, ante-natal and post-abortion care, infertility treatment, screening of cancers of the reproductive system, and management of sexually transmitted infections (including HIV and AIDS). Its service points include permanent and mobile clinics. ABPF is focused on reaching marginalized groups such as prisoners, sex workers, refugees and internally displaced persons. The majority of clients are estimated to be poor, marginalized, socially excluded and/or under-served. To reduce the national maternal mortality rate, ABPF operates an effective community-based obstetric and antenatal care service in 16 villages, using traditional birth attendants and volunteer health workers. ABPF also runs a locally-based service for young people which involves hundreds of community-based distributors (CBDs) and peer educators providing young people with sexual and reproductive health information, condoms and counselling services. In acknowledgment of ABPF’s expertise and accomplishments, the Government of Benin invited the organization to become a member of the technical committee (in the Ministry of Planning) that drafts reproductive health policies: the Population Policy, the Family Health Policy, HIV and AIDS policies and the National Sexual and Reproductive Health Policy. Whilst ABPF has recorded major advances in sexual and reproductive health, there are still very significant challenges as the figures for lifetime risk of maternal death, child mortality rate and unmet need for contraception of illustrate. Driving the work of ABPF is a large and dedicated team of hundreds of volunteers. There’s a Youth Action Movement which draws on the skills of young people. ABPF works in partnership with a range of government organisations, including parliament, the Ministère de la Famille, the Ministère de la Jeunesse, and the Ministère du Plan. Funders include USAID. Non-goverrnmental organizations working with ABPF include the Country Co-ordinating Mechanism for health and sexual and reproductive health.

Sex og Politikk - The Norwegian Association for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights
Sex og Politikk is a member organization consisting of affiliated organizations, institutions and individual members. Sex og Politikk was founded in 1969 and has since its establishment been a main organisation in Norway working for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), particularly in the promotion of sexuality education where we provide the most used materials for use in primary and secondary schools in Norway "Uke 6", which since 2019 has been used at more than 40% of schools in Norway. We further prioritize work for abortion and SOGIE rights as well as securing access to safe contraceptives and sexual health and rights for the elderly. The organisation works both nationally and internationally to further sexual rights, including a particular focus on indigenous populations, with a particular programme on sexual health for Sami people, the only indigenous population in Europe. The organisation works for the development of better health care services, and to safeguard rights linked to sexuality and reproductive health, both in a national and international context. These areas are very important in strengthening women's rights and also for working towards gender equality and poverty reduction internationally. Political advocacy including through conferences and by organising an All Party Parliamentary Group on SRHR are important avenues to implement our work.
