Upholding migrants’ sexual and reproductive rights in Bolivia
Fleeing hardships and unrest, Venezuelans have been migrating to Bolivia in growing numbers. When they arrive, they face the basic challenges of migrants everywhere—including lack of access to sexual and reproductive health care.

August 2022 marked five years since more than 700,000 Rohingya refugees fled persecution in Myanmar and arrived in refugee camps across the border in Bangladesh. Much has changed for the people who now call these camps home, but the need for sexual and reproductive health services—including abortion care—has remained constant.

Decades of armed conflict, economic unrest and public health crises have left nearly 20 million people in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in need of humanitarian assistance. The internally displaced population is more than 5 million, and sexual violence against women and girls is widespread. Ipas DRC, in partnership with community-based organizations, is working to ensure that reproductive health care—including abortion and contraception—is available to women and girls affected by these crises.

Against the backdrop of a brutal civil war, Ipas Ethiopia helps health facilities prioritize sexual and reproductive health care services, including abortion care, and re-establish those services in areas where they have been disrupted. Supporting humanitarian agencies and community organizations, Ipas provides refresher trainings in abortion and contraceptive care for health workers and works with pharmacists and mobile health units to ensure abortion pills are available throughout the region so that women can manage their abortion themselves, without needing to go to a health facility.

Climate change is one of the defining crises of our time, and people’s sexual and reproductive health and rights are affected by this crisis. The effects of climate change amount to a global public health, economic, humanitarian, and gender equality disaster.
