I have found something to look forward to. When I was married I could not talk – now I can talk about my wishes and rights."

Family Planning Association of Bangladesh: combating gender-based violence during pregnancy

This case study is one of a series of qualitative reviews called “IPPF Changing lives” which capture the stories of IPPF’s beneficiaries and clients from around the world.

A rapid PEER (participatory ethnographic evaluation and research) approach was used to train project beneficiaries to interview people in their
social network.

These voices provide us with powerful testimonies on lives changed - in some cases, lives saved - and illustrate how IPPF is making a difference.
