About Family Planning Voices
If you follow Humans of New York, you understand the power of a simple image and a few words. Data is essential for successful programming, but stories compel people to take action. The Knowledge for Health Project and FP2020 launched Family Planning Voices (#FPVoices) in 2015 to document and share real stories from real people around the world who are passionate about family planning. Now led by the Knowledge SUCCESS Project and FP2020, we have more than four years of stories featured here.
We hope you’re as inspired by these narratives as we are.

Knowledge SUCCESS
Knowledge SUCCESS (Strengthening Use, Capacity, Collaboration, Exchange, Synthesis, and Sharing) is a five-year global project that supports learning, and creates opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange, within the family planning and reproductive health (FP/RH) community. We champion the strategic and systematic use of knowledge in FP/RH programs. Knowledge SUCCESS is supported by USAID’s Bureau for Global Health, Office of Population and Reproductive Health and led by the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) in partnership with Amref Health Africa, The Busara Center for Behavioral Economics (Busara), and FHI 360.

FP2020
Family Planning 2020 (FP2020) is a global partnership that supports the rights of women and girls to decide–freely and for themselves–whether, when and how many children they want to have. FP2020 works with governments, civil society, multilateral organizations, donors, the private sector and the research and development community to enable 120 million more women and girls to use contraceptives by 2020.
FP2020 is an outcome of the 2012 London Summit on Family Planning and is based on the principle that all women, no matter where they live, should have access to lifesaving contraceptives. Achieving the FP2020 goal is a critical milestone to ensuring universal access to sexual and reproductive health care services by 2030, as laid out in Sustainable Development Goal 3. FP2020 is in support of the UN Secretary-General’s Global Strategy for Women’s, Children’s and Adolescent’s health. For more information, visit www.familyplanning2020.org.
Gates Institute
With support from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, the Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has partnered with the FP Voices team to bring the FP Voices Installation to life. Visitors to the interactive installation, which has traveled to the International Conference on Family Planning and Women Deliver, choose from a selection of prompts, share their responses, take photos or video, and publish their thoughts instantly using #FPVoices.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Institute for Population and Reproductive Health at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health conducts and facilitates cutting-edge research in family planning, reproductive health, and population dynamics and translates science into evidence-informed policies, programs, and practice. The Gates Institute works as an innovator, partner, advocate, and convener to bridge the gap between knowledge and implementation and promote access to universal reproductive health and family planning for all.
