PAI advances the universal right to quality sexual & repro health care for every person, everywhere — especially women, youth & vulnerable communities

POSTS STORIES REELS

The New York Times reports that the State Department plans to redirect $48.5 million intended for family planning and reproductive health care in low-income countries. This follows repeated moves to withhold, rescind, or leave unspent U.S. funding for these essential services.

“The consequences of these decisions are not theoretical: Every dollar withheld has a human cost,” PAI President and CEO Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins told the Times.

Congress must protect the funding it approved and ensure it reaches the people it was intended to serve.

Thank you to Olivia Diaz and @snolenglobal at The @nytimes for reporting on these decisions and their consequences for communities around the world.

Every girl deserves to choose her own path.

But child marriage can take that choice away, disrupting a girl’s education, threatening her health and safety, and limiting her ability to make decisions about her own body and future.

These rights are deeply intertwined. Ending child marriage requires sustained investment in girls’ education, health, safety, voice, and agency.

This International Day of the Girl, PAI joins the global call to end child marriage and invest in girls’ rights, so every girl has the freedom, resources, and power to shape her future on her own terms.

Jesse Helms has been out of Congress for more than two decades, but his harmful abortion restrictions have shaped health care access for people around the world for 50 years.

Our latest Washington Memo digs into the Congressional Record, connects that history to today’s expanded Global Gag Rule, and makes the case for taking Helms out of the driver’s seat.

Thank you to @senbooker and Rep @janschakowsky for reintroducing the Abortion Is Healthcare Everywhere Act.

This legislation would repeal the Helms Amendment, a harmful policy that has prevented millions of people from accessing comprehensive sexual and reproductive health services.

Safe abortion care is health care. Congress should pass the Abortion is Health Care Everywhere Act.

A choice for all means having the freedom to decide if and when to become pregnant—and access to the contraception needed to make that decision.

This #WorldContraceptionDay, we’re calling on U.S. leaders to protect international family planning funding, get already-purchased contraceptives to the people who need them, and make sure funds approved by Congress are put to work.

Swipe to see what’s at stake and what policymakers can do. by @pai_org

This #InternationalYouthDay, we’re celebrating young advocates who turn their passion into power.

Last month, PAI welcomed 17 fellows to our inaugural Freedom Starts With Her Youth Institute for Reproductive Rights and it was the perfect space to connect and build the skills to advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights.

The future is theirs to shape, and they’re already doing it. by @pai_org

While Ebola spreads in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo, women and girls cannot afford to lose access to reproductive health care.

We applaud Senators Jeanne Shaheen and Lisa Murkowski for their bipartisan leadership in calling on the State Department to release the international family planning funding that Congress has already appropriated, distribute lifesaving contraceptive supplies intended for destruction, and restore support for sexual and reproductive health services.

As we can see in the DRC, and have seen in emergencies before, reproductive health care is essential to protecting the health and lives of women and families during a humanitarian crisis.

It is time for the administration to release the funds and get lifesaving assistance where it's needed most.

The expanded Global Gag Rule is making headlines—but what’s actually happening in Congress?

Our latest Washington Memo breaks down the bills lawmakers have introduced in response, what they would do, and why they matter for global health and reproductive rights.

If you've been trying to keep up with all the policy changes, we've got you.

When climate disasters strike, women and girls face immense risks ranging from disruptions to reproductive health care, pregnancy complications, increased gender-based violence, and lost educational opportunities.

In a new @ms_magazine op-ed, PAI President & CEO Nabeeha Kazi Hutchins explains why climate policy must reflect this reality. From Pakistan to North Carolina, she makes the case that climate resilience depends on protecting the health, rights, and safety of women and girls.

At PAI, we believe climate adaptation isn't just about infrastructure. It's about ensuring women and girls can access the care and support they need before, during, and after climate emergencies.

This week, we kicked off the inaugural ✨Freedom Starts With Her Youth Institute for Reproductive Health ✨, bringing together an amazing group of students and recent graduates who are ready to learn, lead, and take action.

Over the next two weeks, they'll sharpen their advocacy skills, connect with experts and each another, and build the tools they'll use to create change in their own communities.

This is just the beginning. 💪
