Member Associations

The Planned Parenthood Association of Thailand (PPAT)  supports the National Family Planning Programme by organizing countrywide educational and motivational activities, and by delivering contraceptive services to special target groups/geographic areas including slum dwellers, the population along the Thai-Cambodia border, and northern hill tribes. With the help of Muslim leaders and the support of grassroots volunteers, PPAT has been highly successful in promoting family planning among the marginalized Muslim community in Thailand's 4 southern-most provinces. It has also undertaken individual projects tailored to the needs of prisoners and fishermen. PPAT’s approach to sexual and reproductive health (SRH) promotion has been innovative, and in many cases, the organization’s models have been replicated by government departments and have been sustained with dedicated public funds. PPAT runs a strong programme of information, education and communication (IEC) via radio and television broadcasts on family planning, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), reproductive health and environmental issues. These are estimated to have reached over 10 million people across the country. The organization operates through over 1,900 distinct service points. These include 15 permanent clinics and 8 mobile units, and a network of hundreds of community-based distributors/community-based services (CBDs/CBSs). As the statistics show, Thailand still faces a number of challenges, particularly in relation to maternal and child mortality. But with a confident and active Member Association on hand, the prospects for continued improvement are strong.

Sex og Politikk - The Norwegian Association for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, consists of affiliated organizations, institutions and individual members. Sex og Politikk was founded in 1969 and since its establishment been essential in the promotion of sexuality education in Norway, as well as securing access to safe contraceptives. Several of the organization's founding members were central in the work leading up to the law on abortion. 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 and informational events focusing on SRHR with a South perspective is therefore essential to our work. In Norway, Sex og Politikk offers a sexuality education programme "Uke Sex" for students, in addition to informing the general public about the importance of sexual and reproductive health and rights, and to highlight the challenges many people have when it comes to this controversial field.   Contacts Website: www.sexogpolitikk.no Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Sex-og-Politikk-182709078487500/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/Sexogpolitikk
