CHOICE WEEK: Reproductive choice for all
With reproductive choice, we can control our own futures. This #ChoiceWeek, join our call for everyone, everywhere to have the power to choose.
What is Choice Week?
Choice Week runs from Monday 21 September – Monday 28 September and is all about the power of choice.
When a woman has reproductive choice, she has agency over her body and power over her future. She can grow, learn, lead, and help her family thrive.
September 26 is World Contraception Day – calling for everyone to have access to their choice of contraception – and September 28 is International Safe Abortion Day – campaigning for global abortion rights so that everyone has the right to this essential healthcare.
Together these days form Choice Week, a week to take action and be bold. We invite pro-choice people everywhere to join us in celebrating the power of reproductive choice, on social media and beyond.
For Choice Week this year, MSI Reproductive Choices has a simple message: Choice is power. Yet millions of women worldwide can’t make these choices. It’s time to change that.

What is reproductive choice?
Reproductive choice means the power to decide if or when to become pregnant. This means having access to sexual and reproductive health and rights, including contraception and abortion care.
A world of opportunities opens when women and girls have choice. Girls can finish school, young women can pursue a career, and mothers can have a break between pregnancies for their health and to support their families.
When pregnancy is a choice, a woman can have agency over her life, her health and her future. It doesn’t just change one life, it changes the world.
Fight for choice
It’s been a long fight for the right to choose.
To have a say over our bodies, our families, our futures.
That right is under threat.
Join us to defend our rights and choices.
Why we need to #ChooseChoice for reproductive rights
The last few years have seen rising attacks on our reproductive freedom.
A second Trump administration has been curtailing reproductive healthcare access, with far-reaching consequences for women and girls around the world.
Meanwhile, an anti-choice and anti-rights movement is growing in the UK and globally, threatening to roll back progress.
While we celebrate Choice Week, anti-choice groups are holding 40 days for life – six weeks of round-the-clock protests outside abortion clinics. They’re harassing people seeking and providing abortion care.
The threat to reproductive rights is happening right now around the world. Speaking out in support of choice is an act of resistance. Choice is power, and we won’t rest until everyone has it.
