Marie Stopes International

Marie Stopes International [4] (MSI) is a not-for-profit organization [5] based in the United Kingdom that promotes reproductive and sexual health. It grew from one small clinic, founded in North London in 1921, into an international provider of reproductive health care and information that operates in almost forty countries. The Mothers? Clinic, from which it grew, was created in the hopes of expanding couples? reproductive rights [6], and the modern organization [5] continues to work toward the same goal today. For the better part of a century, MSI and the clinic from which it developed have been significant players in the battle for personal choice and control in the area of human reproduction.
