There exists social barriers regarding Sexual and Reproductive Health and the awareness level for Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights are still very low. Superstitions and misconstrued religious perception are also very widespread. Gender-based violence is on the rise and laws related to these are not implemented appropriately. Formulating Policies for developing the programs on Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights , ensuring support of workers and mobilizing support of the mass-media are the key goals of the Advocacy Program of FPAB

As an effort to integrate the mass-media in reaching this goal, the “FPAB AWARD For JOURNALISM -2007” at the national level was introduced and since 1997, FPAB's Award in Journalism has been an inspiring endeavor, encouraging journalists to write on different aspects of Sexual and Reproductive Health issues & problems. On 10 July, 2008 , the Award Ceremony for “ NATIONAL FPAB AWARD For JOURNALISM - 2007” was held at the Dhaka Reporters Unity
