How we can help you
If you are writing a story on Marie Stopes International, the Press Team can assist you in a variety of ways. We aim to be able to provide information and/or arrange interviews on any of the following:
- Marie Stopes International’s Mission and Goals in sexual and reproductive health and rights
- human interest stories and case studies from Marie Stopes International’s programmes around the world
- interviews with key programme team members in country, who can give first-hand accounts of the positive effect that good reproductive health has on a woman's life
Arranging interviews
The Press Team can also arrange interviews with Marie Stopes International experts in a wide range of issues, including:
- Marie Stopes International’s activities worldwide
- specific activities, including in raising awareness about reproductive health among adolescents; encouraging men to take responsibility for contraception; taking reproductive health services to the workplace; providing reproductive health services to refugees and internally displaced people; testing, support and prevention initiatives relating to HIV/AIDS and sexually transmitted infections; unsafe abortion; contraceptive social marketing; and social franchising of Marie Stopes International’s services
- Marie Stopes International’s pioneering activities in the provision of high quality sexual and reproductive health services in some of the world's poorest nations

Facilitating
The Press Team can also help facilitate the following:
- visits to Marie Stopes International’s programmes (although the organisation cannot fund these visits). Journalists will be able to talk to clinic teams and, in some circumstances, clients. Journalists can also visit outreach projects to see how Marie Stopes International operates at a grassroots level
