The Guardian International Development Journalism Competition
Thank you for visiting the Marie Stopes International support page for entrants to the Guardian International Development Journalism Competition 2009. MSI is delighted to be joining the Department for International Development as a sponsor of this project.

MSI has put forward two themes for the entry stage of this competition: 

• Family planning
• Safe and unsafe abortion

Some useful links on this site for your research include:

• Family planning  information from MSI
• Safe and unsafe abortion information from MSI
• Cries and Whispers: Untold stories of unsafe abortion

If you would like to ask MSI any questions about any of these themes, please put your questions in an email and send to press@mariestopes.org.uk. We will then ensure that the best person to answer each of your questions is given an opportunity to do so.

We will endeavour to send you a reply as soon as we can but please allow up to five working days. Please be sure to provide a reply email address and a contact number with your questions.

Unfortunately, due to the expected high number of requests for information, we may not be able to answer questions in person or over the phone.
