The Family Planning and Sexual Health Association of Lithuania (FPSHA) focuses on educational campaigns, advocacy, and the protection of reproductive and sexual rights.
We organize training courses for health personnel and teachers, and advocate for the introduction of sex education in the school curriculum.
FPSHA has collaborated with the Polish family planning association in designing a 'Preparation for Family Life' programme for schools, and with the Danish family planning association in organizing seminars for teachers.
Our Youth Group publishes a newsletter and has produced a video on contraceptive methods for young people.
The FPA participates in the IPPF Contraceptive Social Marketing project, selling COOL condoms of good quality at an affordable price, and an oral contraceptive.
We co-operate with several women's non-government organizations (NGOs) in advocating for the introduction of legislation providing unrestricted access to reproductive health care and services.
FPSHA and the government Centre for Nursing Qualifications agreed to begin courses for Lithuanian midwives from women's out-patient departments on family planning and counselling. A 16 hour workshop will be provided by members of the FPSHA, doctors and obstetricians gynaecologists.
