The following statements are taken from a five- page policy statement titled: ‘Christian Aid’s Policy on Family Planning’, published June 2015:

‘Reproductive health is vitally important in any discussion of global poverty and population levels.’

‘We believe that increasing access to modern methods of contraception is necessary, but not in itself sufficient, for individuals (and women in particular) to have power over their reproductive lives. For that, we believe, there must also be work done to stimulate demand.’

‘Christian Aid does not fund abortion clinics and does not regard abortion as a desirable form of birth control.’

‘In common with other ecumenical development and aid agencies, Christian Aid funds organisations that provide support to poor women in crisis to inform them of their legal rights, both in terms of advice on legal abortions as well as the risks of illegal abortions.’
