It's NOT about controlling population! 🛑

Family planning in PNG is fundamentally about health, dignity, and empowering families to make informed choices about their future. Read why this essential service is key to building stronger communities:

Today is the final day of the campaign, Day 16 of the 16 Days of Activism, and it is also Human Rights Day. We conclude with the truth: Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) are fundamental Human Rights, not privileges. Every person, regardless of gender, location, or ability, has the inherent right to safety, health, and dignity.

The fight to end gender-based violence (GBV) is inseparable from the fight for bodily autonomy the right to make choices about one's own body and future without coercion. When we ensure that women have access to confidential health services, family planning, and non-judgmental support, we uphold their human rights and give them the power to live a life free from violence.

As the campaign closes, our work continues for the year ahead. This is our final, urgent call to action to every person in Papua New Guinea:

Demand your rights. Know your health. End the violence. ✊🧡💙💜

Staff Spotlight: Tracy Vege, Centers Manager! đź’™

Meet Tracy Vege, the inspiration behind the exceptional care at our clinics! Tracy shares what drives her passion for nursing and leadership at Marie Stopes PNG (MSPNG).

đź©ş Inspiration & Journey to Leadership
Tracy's inspiration? Her mother, also a nurse! Growing up, this shaped her deep desire to provide holistic, compassionate care and create a safe space for clients. This commitment to patient-centered care motivated her to become a Clinic Manager, allowing her to support both clients and staff and ensure quality care thrives.

🏥 Shaping Her Management Style
Her experience as a nurse and supervisor has been key. She leads by prioritizing open communication, teamwork, and mutual support. Understanding the daily challenges of nurses and providers helps her implement practical strategies to improve service delivery and ensure the clinic runs smoothly.

🏆 Most Rewarding Achievement
Tracy's proudest moment was helping the Lae Centre adopt a commercial mindset while maintaining best, fast, and client-centered services. Through teamwork and support, they hit a new service income record of K17,000! This milestone shows the incredible potential for continued growth.

🌱 Tracy's advice for Aspiring Colleagues
âś…Continuous Learning: Take advantage of training and mentorship.
âś…Be Open to Feedback: Growth comes from constructive criticism.
âś…Build Strong Relationships: Collaboration is the key to progress.
âś…Stay Passionate: Your dedication to the MSPNG mission will open doors!

🔥 Staying Motivated
Tracy stays motivated by witnessing the real impact of MSPNG’s work—hearing clients’ stories and seeing how access to information and services empowers them.

Today is Day 14 of the 16 Days of Activism. Ending gender-based violence requires a community-wide network. No single organization can do it alone. At MSPNG, while we provide crucial health services, we recognize that survivors need comprehensive support that extends beyond the clinic walls. Our commitment to your safety is supported by strong Partnerships for Protection and established Referral Pathways. This network connects women who seek help from us to specialized organizations (like Femili PNG and Family Support Centres) that offer non-medical necessities, including legal and justice support, emergency shelter, and specialist trauma counseling.

When you seek help from MSPNG, we don't just treat your physical health, but we connect you to the resources that address the entire spectrum of your needs, ensuring you have access to justice, safety, and long-term healing. Our integrated approach ensures that when you make the difficult decision to reach out, a comprehensive system of support is immediately available to secure and assist you. 🧡💙

Today is Day 10 of the 16 Days of Activism. We are focusing on empowering the next generation: Papua New Guinean adolescents and youth!

Empowerment begins with knowledge. Providing early, confidential access to Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) information and services is one of the most powerful tools we have to prevent unintended pregnancy, delay early marriage, and stop the cycle of violence. When young people are informed about their bodies, their rights, and reliable contraception, they gain the confidence to make healthy choices, demand respect, and set their own life goals. This foundation of self-respect and bodily autonomy is the greatest shield against coercion and violence.

Do you have questions about puberty, consent, contraception, or where to get confidential advice? Our team at Marie Stopes PNG is here to provide guidance and support for you. Get in touch and stay informed. 🧡💙

Happy International Day of Persons with Disabilities đź’™

Today is Day 9 of the 16 Days of Activism and the International Day of Persons with Disabilities (IDPD). On this important day, we emphasize that the rights we advocate for are universal and belong to everyone, regardless of ability.

Women and girls with disabilities face disproportionately higher rates of gender-based violence, s*xual violence, and reproductive coercion. They often face unique barriers to accessing healthcare, including lack of accessible facilities, inadequate information, and stigma. At MSPNG, we firmly believe that the right to health, the right to safety, and the right to bodily autonomy are foundational human rights that must be accessible to all. We are working to ensure our service delivery sites are physically and culturally accessible, providing all women with disabilities the respectful, dignified care and information they deserve.

The path to a future free from violence requires us to champion the rights of the most marginalized. For the year ahead, let this be our call to action: Demand your rights. Know your health. End the violence. 🧡💙

Today is Day 8 of the 16 Days of Activism. We are focusing on the assurance that when you reach out to us, you are entering a truly safe space. We know that discussing experiences of violence, navigating reproductive coercion, or simply making decisions about your family planning can be intimidating, especially in a community where judgment and stigma are common. Fear of disclosure and concern over your privacy often prevent women from seeking the help they urgently need.

That's why every single service offered at MSPNG from medical consultation to individual counseling is built on the promise of absolute confidentiality and zero judgment. For us, a safe space means an environment where you are secure, both physically and emotionally. Our service delivery sites are specifically designed for privacy, ensuring your conversations and medical records are never shared without your explicit permission. This commitment is paramount because we understand that trust is the foundation of healing and empowerment.

Our trained and skilled serviced providers are here not to tell you what to do, but to empower you with complete, unbiased information about your health options and support your choices, whatever they may be. We respect your bodily autonomy above all else. We are a resource for your health, your peace of mind, and your safety. Your story is safe with us, and your privacy is always respected. We are here to listen, support, and help you take control of your health journey, free from any pressure. 🧡💙

Happy World Aids Day ❤

Today is Day 7 of the 16 Days of Activism and it is also World AIDS Day, a moment to reflect on the inseparable link between Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and HIV.

Violence strips away a woman's power to negotiate safe s*x, dramatically increasing her vulnerability. It also creates silent barriers to seeking testing and treatment.

At MSPNG, we are committed to tackling this nexus head-on by offering comprehensive, confidential HIV and STI testing alongside our SRH and GBV support services.

We urge everyone to take control of their health: Know your status. Protect your future. Your health journey is private, and we are here to support you every step of the way, free from judgment. 🧡💙❤

30/11/2025

On Day 6 of the 16 Days of Activism, we highlight a critical, yet often unseen, link: the connection between unwanted pregnancy and financial entrapment. For many women, being unable to choose when and if to have children can prevent them from completing their education, securing employment, and gaining financial independence. This lack of financial power often traps them in cycles of poverty and makes them more vulnerable to staying in abusive relationships.

We believe that reliable contraception is a powerful tool for self-determination and financial security. By having control over your reproductive timeline, you gain the stability needed to pursue educational opportunities and build a sustainable livelihood. This choice fundamentally alters your life trajectory, giving you the freedom to manage your resources, invest in your future, and increase your overall safety and independence.

We are here to provide the health services that unlock this freedom. Visit your nearest MSPNG service delivery site to explore effective and affordable Long-Acting Reversible Contraception (LARC) options that support your educational and financial goals. 🧡💙

Your Body Your Future

Established in PNG in 2006, Marie Stopes PNG (MSPNG) is the country’s leading provider of safe, affordable and quality family planning (FP) and s*xual reproductive health services (SRH).

MSPNG is part of the global Marie Stopes International organisation which works in 34 countries around the world to help women have children by choice and not chance.

For a PNG woman or girl, being able to choose when she has children means having the power to take control of her future. It can mean having the ability to finish her education, pursue a career, look after the children she already has and ensure she remains healthy.
