About IPPF


We are a global service provider and a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. 

We have six Regional Offices:

We are a global network of Member Associations, and we work in around 180 countries - providing and campaigning for sexual and reproductive health care and rights.

What we believe

  • We believe that sexual and reproductive rights should be internationally recognized as human rights and therefore guaranteed for everyone.
  • We encourage individuals, women in particular, to take control of their reproductive lives.
  • We promote equality between men and women, aiming to eliminate gender biases, especially those that threaten the well-being of women and girls.
  • Above all we promote choices.

Our advances in sexual and reproductive health and rights have always faced challenges from conservative political and religious forces, and this is no different today.

We work in partnership with like-minded organizations, galvanizing support to confront those who want to take away these rights.
