Barbados Family Planning Association BFPA empowering choices, transforming lives via reproductive health services, education and advocacy. George Griffith and with Mrs. We are saving lives.

THE BFPA

The Barbados Family Planning Association is one of Barbados’ oldest civil society organizations having been established by an Act of Parliament in 1954. At sixty one years, we continue to experience strong growth. During 2014 there was a changing of the guard with the retirement of longstanding Executive Director Mr. Juliette Bynoe-Sutherland Attorney-at-law and Health Planner assuming the organization’s leadership. Our youth interventions in schools and in the community continue to be in demand and our Youth Advocacy Movement began a process of rebuilding to better respond to requests for support. We are making an impact. OUR VISION

A community where each individual has access to the highest, quality Sexual and Reproductive Health Information, education and services,

OUR MISSION

To serve and empower people with their sexual and reproductive health and rights. OUR MAIN ADVOCACY ISSUES

* Promoting comprehensive sexuality education.

* Training of teachers and social workers in sexuality particularly in primary schools.

* Expanding access to sexual and reproductive health services by the LGBT and disabled community.

* Ending the age of consent (16 years old)/age of access to health services (18 years old) to services disconnect for adolescents.

* Population and development – responding to concerns about the impact of low birth rates on long term population replacement from a gender and women’s rights perspective. OUR ADVOCACY HAS BEEN IMPACTFUL
