Le cadre stratégique 2016–2022 constitue une vision à la fois audacieuse et ambitieuse des projets de l’IPPF, la Fédération internationale pour la planification familiale, et des moyens de les concrétiser au cours des sept prochaines années. Approuvé en novembre 2014 par le Conseil de gouvernance de l’IPPF, la plus haute instance décisionnelle de la Fédération, ce cadre représente l’aboutissement d’un vaste processus consultatif sollicitant la collaboration d’associations membres, de partenaires et de bailleurs de fonds à l’échelle mondiale. Notre stratégie répond aux tendances sociales, politiques et démographiques qui se manifestent dans le monde entier. Ces tendances peuvent se résumer ainsi: les attentes et le potentiel de la génération la plus nombreuse de jeunes de tous les temps; de profondes inégalités sociales et économiques persistantes, et notamment la discrimination contre les filles et les femmes; ainsi que l’opposition qui menace les avancées réalisées dans le domaine des droits humains. Ce cadre s’appuie aussi sur des évaluations et des analyses de notre travail: nos forces et faiblesses, nos capacités, nos ressources et nos réseaux. Le cadre stratégique de l’IPPF établit les priorités qui permettront à la Fédération d’avoir de l’impact en tant que mouvement axé sur la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs (SDSR) au cours des sept années à venir. Il guidera les associations membres nationales et leurs partenaires en vue d’élaborer des stratégies spécifiques à leurs pays, en fonction de leurs ressources et adaptées pour se mettre au service des groupes les plus marginalisés sur le plan local. Il apporte aussi au Secrétariat un axe d’action quant à son influence internationale et dans son soutien aux associations membres. Les associations membres seront tenues de rendre compte de leurs résultats une fois par an, qui seront compilés dans un tableau de bord mondial pour mesurer les progrès de la mise en pratique du cadre stratégique. En se dotant de cet outil essentiel, l’IPPF se donne les moyens d’aller de l’avant et de tenir ses promesses. En tant que chef de file du mouvement sur la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs, nous aiderons à unir les actions et les accomplissements de défenseurs de la SSR dans le monde entier, afin de changer de manière radicale la manière dont la santé et les droits sexuels et reproductifs sont appréhendés dans le monde entier.

IPPF is committed to expanding access to, and increasing methods of, family planning. This includes universal access to contraception. In our approach we are dedicated to increasing new users, being youth centred and reaching the under-served. 

Since 2008, the government of Macedonia has invested millions in an anti-abortion campaign. In 2013, this culminated in a new law restricting women’s access to abortion. The Macedonian IPPF Member Association (XEPA) led civil society advocacy to demand the restoration of women’s right to abortion. 

This Statement has been prepared by the International Medical Advisory Panel (IMAP) and was approved in October 2015. This ‘Statement on Hormone Therapy for Transgender People’ complements and builds on earlier IMAP Statements, including ‘Sexual Rights and Sexual Health Services’ and ‘Sexual Health and Rights of Adolescents and Young People’. In the former Statement, IPPF explicitly explored the sexual rights and sexual health of people who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex, and described how to provide the non‑discriminatory and essential health services required by these populations.

This Statement has been prepared by the International Medical Advisory Panel (IMAP) and was approved in June 2015. Female genital mutilation (FGM) is an umbrella term that includes all procedures that involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia, or other injury to the female genital organs, for non‑medical reasons. Female genital mutilation violates a number of well‑established human rights principles, norms and standards, including the principles of equality and non‑discrimination on the basis of sex, gender, the right to bodily integrity, the right to life (because the procedure can result in death), and the right to the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. Female genital mutilation has no health benefits, it is harmful to the health of women and girls, it violates women’s human rights and every effort should be made to eradicate the practice.

How to talk about abortion: A guide to stigma-free messaging (updated April 2023) provides useful tips and advice on what to consider when developing materials relating to abortion. The content includes examples of positive, rights-based messages, and how to avoid using stigmatizing language and images. This guide can be used by educators, advocates, programmers, health professionals and policy makers, among others, to help inform the development of a wide range of communication materials. Learn more in this short video (also available in French and Spanish).

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a framework of 17 goals and 169 targets across social, economic and environmental areas of sustainable development, which United Nations (UN) Member States have committed to making a reality over the next 15 years. The SDGs are to succeed the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which expire at the end of 2015, but are much broader in their scope. Unlike the MDGs, which were focussed on social issues, the SDGs set out targets across all three dimensions – social, economic and environmental – of sustainable development. Furthermore, while the MDGs were targeted at developing countries, the SDGs are applicable to all countries. The SDGs form part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development which UN Member States adopted at the UN Sustainable Development Summit in September 2015. The adoption of the Agenda is the culmination of a lengthy process of intergovernmental negotiations and consultations that lasted nearly three years. The outcome document of the process, ‘Transforming Our World: The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’, consists of a short preamble, a declaration (outlining the vision and principles underlying the Agenda), the SDGs and accompanying targets, as well as sections on the means of implementation and the follow-up and review of the Agenda. The 2030 Agenda is an important political consensus document declaring UN Member States’ intent to work collectively towards achieving people-centred sustainable development over the next 15 years. The 2030 Agenda can be expected to affect the policy and funding priorities of both implementing governments and donors during this time, leading to a channelling of global development funding to the areas reflected in the goals and targets and influencing national development strategies and programming. This will present important opportunities for both advocates and service providers of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR).

Comprehensive, gender-sensitive, rights-based sexuality education (CSE) is an essential component of IPPF’s youth programme strategy.  This tool is available in English, Spanish and French. Developed in partnership with UNESCO, IPPF’s CSE assessment tool Inside & Out enables Civil Society Organisations to assess the quality and comprehensiveness of their CSE programmes so that they can deliver high-quality rights-based CSE to adolescents and young people, especially in non-formal education settings. It includes analysis of language and messaging, programme development, educator training, interventions and national level health, demographic and social data, with a strong gender focus.  The standards are based on IPPF’s Framework for Comprehensive Sexuality Education and the content assessed relates to IPPF’s seven components of CSE including; gender, SRH and HIV, sexual rights and citizenship, pleasure, violence, diversity and relationships. The tool also reflects IPPF and Pop Council’s  It’s All One Curriculum. The purpose of Inside & Out is: To review and assess the comprehensiveness and quality of sexuality education programmes both inside and outside school setting (especially programmes run by civil society) based on international evidence and standards of good practice; To generate data that can inform and guide the development, improvement or reform of sexuality education programmes; To assess the relevance of sexuality education programmes in relation to national health, demographic and other social criteria (notably gender); To inform debate and advocacy by generating data on the state of sexuality education that is understandable, easy to analyse and accessible to different audiences; To provide a standardized assessment of sexuality education programmes. Please contact IPPF’s Adolescent, Gender and Rights team for any guidance and support on using the tool at [email protected].
