SheDecides is a global political movement driving change, fuelled by actions in communities, with young people at its heart.

The movement is now guided by a Strategy 2019-2021 with a costed workplan and is supported by the SheDecides Support Unit (SDSU), hosted under the auspices of the International Planned Parenthood Foundation (IPPF).
