Ipas has a bold ambition—to advance reproductive justice around the world by ensuring access to abortion and contraception—and we need others to help us achieve it. In every sphere in which we work, Ipas relies on partners.

The coronavirus pandemic has laid bare the gender, racial and economic inequities in health-care systems around the world that make it difficult for women, people of color, LGBTQ people and other marginalized groups to get the essential health care they need.

Ipas conducts policy- and program-relevant research on abortion in collaboration with diverse global, regional, national and local partners. We generate new knowledge for the larger reproductive health and rights community.

The U.S. government has a major role to play in the global effort to fight unsafe abortion.

Gender-based violence puts women and girls at higher risk for unwanted pregnancy, and survivors require specially tailored care that includes access to emergency contraception and abortion.

Women and girls—and all people who can get pregnant—can’t determine their own futures without laws and policies that support access to abortion and contraception.

No matter where they live, women and girls—and all people who can get pregnant— should have access to the highest possible quality of abortion and contraceptive care.

Stigma shames and silences women who seek abortions—plus their health-care providers and anyone associated with abortion—and it contributes greatly to the incidence of unsafe abortion.

We are committed to supporting a woman’s right to have an abortion using pills—on her own, when and where she wants.
