Pathfinder International President Purnima Mane commends the strides made for women's reproductive health in 2012 and acknowledges the tremendous amount of progress yet to be made in 2013 and beyond.
Your gift to Pathfinder helps empower women who have the ability to change the world. Women like Muni, a newlywed in India. After accessing family planning services, Muni can choose for herself when to have her first child.
This World AIDS Day, Pathfinder International joins those around the world working towards an AIDS-free generation to celebrate the achievements we have made collectively, and to advocate for continued persistence to end the pandemic.
Tracking the progress of our work is critical to evaluating our success in improving women's lives. Check out key highlights from our six focus areas: contraception; maternal and newborn care; HIV and AIDS; abortion; adolescents and youth; and advocacy.

WHY CHOICE MATTERS
Right now 222 million women lack access to contraceptives. That's 222 million women without choice. But what does the world look like when women can choose if, when, and how often to have children? It's a world where women are happier, healthier, and more empowered. It's a world where families are better nourished, children stay in school, and parents can see a better future for their children.
Choice starts simply: a woman making a decision about her body. The power of choice is when every woman, every man, every young person, has access to sexual and reproductive health.
CHOICE HAS MANY FACES
Whether it's choice about contraception, maternal care, or HIV treatment, there is a name and a face associated with all of our work. Pathfinder has six main focus areas, each with the goal of improving the sexual and reproductive health and rights of the women and families we serve. Explore our areas of work:
