Positive Vibes is a progressive, Namibian-registered organization that focuses on advancing queer rights and human rights in Southern, East, and West Africa, as well as in Southeast Asia, Southwest Asia, and Central America.The organization works at the intersection of human rights, health, and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) to create an inclusive society where all individuals, regardless of gender, sexuality, or background, have the opportunity to participate in civic, developmental, and political processes, including making decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.The organization supports marginalized and vulnerable groups, including LGBTQ+ individuals, sex workers, and women-led groups, by ensuring access to comprehensive SRHR services and promoting social, policy, and structural change.Positive Vibes empowers these communities to raise their voices, engage at local and national levels, and contribute to positive change. Their approach is grounded in the belief that people have the right to lead their own lives and movements, strengthening communities to achieve broader goals of social inclusion, justice, equity, and comprehensive sexual and reproductive health rights for all.

In February 2024, Family Planning New Zealand changes its name to Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa. Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa runs 30 permanent clinics which offer a range of sexual and reproductive health services, including contraceptive advice and prescriptions, insertion of contraceptive implants and intra uterine devices, testing and treatment of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) including HIV, pregnancy testing and advice, and cervical screening. Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa provides early medical abortion at two of its clinics. We also provide clinical training and development courses for doctors, nurses, midwives and other health professionals.   We also run schools-based clinics, predominantly in high needs areas, and its health promoters operate out of 15 locations across the country. The health promoters work with schools, parents, and caregivers to lead courses on sexual and reproductive health (SRH). Since sexuality education became a compulsory component of the health curriculum in New Zealand schools in 2001, Sexual Wellbeing Aotearoa has developed a range of curriculum aligned teaching resources and courses to support teachers and school staff to deliver effective SRH lessons.  The organisation plays a key role in advocating at national and international level for legislative change to promote the right to control SRH as a fundamental human right. It is the secretariat for the New Zealand Parliamentarians Group on Population and Development, where the organisation’s expertise in delivering services to answer people’s SRH needs provides a practical grounding for policy improvements.  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swaotearoa/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sexualwellbeingaotearoa TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@sexualwellbeingaotearoa LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sexualwellbeingaotearoa
