Bahrain Reproductive Health Association
The Bahrain Reproductive Health Association (BRHA) is a public association, but does not provide any clinical services. It was established on 1975, by a group of Bahraini youth to serve the Bahrain community with commitment and accountability towards national and human responsibility. Through voluntary trained and specialized personnel, SRH targets include: Increase awareness and knowledge about reproductive health and the importance of family planning as a human need for the community. Increase women's knowledge about their reproductive rights, and enable them to practice their rights and make their own decisions. Increase men's responsibility and participation in reproductive health issues. Prepare youth for parenthood responsibilities, and improve care provided to adolescents. Communicate with decision makers and community leaders to support positive attitude towards reproductive health. These are achieved by the following: Increase awareness about reproductive health among the community through seminars, lectures, leaflets and educational articles. Train volunteers to become specialists in reproductive health and family planning. Provide reproductive health counselling through the counselling centre in the association. Increase cooperation and coordination with governmental authorities, associations, social clubs and different media facilities to promote reproductive health. Increase cooperation and coordination with all agents concerned in combating and preventing HIV.

Reproductive & Family Health Association of Fiji
The Reproductive and Family Health Association of Fiji (RFHAF) was inaugurated in June 1996. It has played a key role in shaping national family planning policy and in promoting sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education, particularly among young people and communities in which myths about the dangers of family planning prevail. The use of contraceptives is still believed by many to cause cancer and immature childbirth. RFHAF has also undertaken concerted national advocacy work (with a particular emphasis on HIV and AIDS) through its involvement with the National Advisory Committee on AIDS and the country co-ordinating mechanism. As such, it played a critical role in securing the HIV Prevention and Treatment Decree which outlaws discrimination, promotes counselling, testing and reporting, assures confidentiality, and legislates on the supply of blood products. The organization’s committed promotion of wider awareness of SRH issues is changing attitudes, and as attitudes change, uptake of services increase.
