The Five A's

Abortion, Access, Adolescents, Advocacy, AIDS/HIV

These are part of our strategic framework. Introduced in 2004, they represent the focal points of our work until at least 2009. Gender equality is an implicit aspect of our work.

The Innovation Fund is an internal funding mechanism established by IPPF to promote ground-breaking initiatives in the five A's.

Abortion

We aim to reduce the number of abortions worldwide that are unsafe. Our Member Associations are committed to identifying actions that will increase a woman’s right to access abortion-related services, including counselling and post-abortion care, as well as safe abortion services. Read more...

This means campaigning for renewed political support and encouraging donors to meet the agreed funding requirements to ensure universal access to sexual and reproductive health services by 2015. Without this, we believe that the Millennium Development Goal of poverty eradication will not be realized. Read more...

AIDS and HIV

We work to remove the barriers that make people vulnerable to HIV/AIDS, and to reduce stigma and discrimination. We actively collaborate with HIV/AIDS organizations. Read more...
