MSPNG works to improve the health and quality of life of PNG women, men and their families.

We work with local partners and the Government to provide quality, affordable and accessible family planning services.

MSPNG CLARIFIES ITS POSITION FOLLOWING THE NATIONAL'S THREE-CHILD POLICY REPORT ARTICLE

Following The National's article published on 9 November 2026, titled "PM eyes three-child policy", Marie Stopes Papua New Guinea (MSPNG) wishes to clarify an important matter concerning the photograph featured in the report.

The photograph used by the newspaper shows a former MSPNG staff member participating in a community outreach activity. It represents the important work MSPNG does in communities across Papua New Guinea to improve access to family planning information and services.

However, the photograph should not be interpreted as MSPNG endorsing, supporting or being involved in the Government's proposed three-child family planning policy.

To be clear, MSPNG was not involved in the discussions surrounding the proposed policy and had no role in its development.

While we recognise the Government's interest in addressing population growth, unintended pregnancies and the challenges facing families, our position on family planning remains firmly grounded in individual rights, informed choice and voluntary access to reproductive healthcare.

We believe every person has the right to decide freely whether, when and how many children to have, with access to accurate information and quality healthcare services.

We welcome constructive conversations about the future of family planning in Papua New Guinea. However, it is equally important that our work, our position and our commitment to the communities we serve are accurately represented.

Children by Choice, Not Chance.

05/11/2026

Every woman deserves the opportunity to recover, make informed choices, and take control of her reproductive health.

For women in rural Papua New Guinea, accessing essential healthcare is not always easy. Long distances, travel costs and limited services can make it difficult to get the support they need, particularly following a complicated pregnancy or childbirth.

For Wilma, from a village in Central Province, a traumatic childbirth experience highlighted just how important access to quality reproductive healthcare can be.

Recognizing the importance of giving women the time and space to recover, the Marie Stopes PNG (MSPNG) Central Outreach Team travelled directly to Wilma's community, bringing essential family planning services closer to home.

Through these outreach services, women like Wilma can access contraception, receive trusted information and make informed decisions about when and whether they want to have children.

Because family planning is more than a health service. It is about choice, dignity, recovery and the opportunity for a healthier future.

With support from the Australian Government through the PNGAus Partnership, Marie Stopes PNG continues to break down barriers to reproductive healthcare, ensuring that distance and cost do not stand in the way of women's health and wellbeing.

Together, we are bringing essential services closer to the communities that need them most.

💙MY BODY. MY CHOICE. MY FUTURE.

Growing up means discovering who you are, understanding your body, and learning to make decisions that shape your future.

But how can young people make informed choices when they don't have the right information?

Every young person deserves answers they can trust.

From puberty and personal health to relationships, boundaries and future goals, having accurate information helps young people grow with confidence.

Through our guided, age-appropriate sessions, we help participants:

✅ Understand their bodies and the changes that come with growing up
✅ Learn about personal health, wellbeing and healthy relationships

✅ Build confidence to make informed decisions
✅ Strengthen communication between parents and young people

Because making the right choices starts with having the right information.

💙A SAFE SPACE TO TALK. NO SHAME. NO JUDGMENT.

Ever had a question you wanted to ask but felt too embarrassed to say it out loud?

Maybe it's about growing up, relationships, your body, or something you've been wondering about for a long time.

You're not the only one. And you deserve to be heard.

Sometimes, the hardest part isn't finding the answer. It's finding someone you feel comfortable asking.

That's why Yumi Stori is here!

Our guided sessions create a respectful and supportive environment where young people and families can:

✅ Ask important questions without feeling embarrassed
✅ Talk openly about growing up, relationships and personal wellbeing
✅ Receive accurate, age-appropriate information
✅ Share their thoughts and experiences without fear of judgment
✅ Build confidence through understanding and meaningful conversations

No question is too silly. No conversation should begin with shame.

At Yumi Stori, we believe everyone deserves a chance to learn, understand and be heard.

💬Some conversations can change the way we see the world. Let's make room for them.

💙PARENTS MATTER TOO!

"How do I talk to my child about growing up?"

It's a question many parents ask, but not every parent knows where to begin.

As children grow into teenagers and young adults, they experience changes, face new challenges, and begin making important decisions about their lives.

And sometimes, the people they need to hear from most are the ones closest to them. Their parents.

That's why Yumi Stori isn't just for young people. It's for parents and guardians too!

Through guided, age-appropriate sessions, Yumi Stori helps families:

✅ Build trust and strengthen communication
✅ Talk openly about puberty, relationships and growing up
✅ Understand the challenges young people face
✅ Create a safe space for questions without judgment
✅ Support young people in making healthy, informed choices

You don't need to have all the answers to be a supportive parent. Sometimes, being willing to listen is where it all begins.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Parents, let's make those important conversations a little easier.
