The DFPA works to promote the universal right to decide over your own body and sexuality. DFPA’s goal is that everyone – regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity – has the knowledge and the possibility to choose the life that they want.

The right to choose is a prerequisite for all individuals to live their lives to their full potential as well as a prerequisite for achieving sustainable economic and social development. DFPA work to increase gender equality, access to contraceptives, sexuality education and health services including treatment of STIs, and we fight against maternal mortality, unsafe abortions, child marriages, teenage pregnancies and discrimination of LGBT+ people.

DFPA has a fundamental focus on strengthening civil society in the Global South in order to drive real and sustainable change for poor, marginalized and vulnerable groups and to push for the realization of the SDGs.
