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.

The Federación de Planificación Familiar de España (FPFE)'s work primarily focuses on information and education activities, advocacy for the sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR) of women and young people in Spain, and the provision of contraception, including emergency contraception. The organization offers abortion counselling and HIV/AIDS prevention services. FPFE has established Youth Contraception and Sexuality Centres Madrid, Barcelona and Santiago which offer personal counselling and telephone helplines. Marginalized communities which FPFE specifically targets include women with HIV and AIDS (through the provision of information regarding support networks) and their carers. FPFE trains young volunteers so they are better able support HIV and AIDS clients at youth centres.
