Share the cake and share our message to global leaders on the crucial importance of sexual health around the world.  Only twelve months ago, every government at the United Nations signed up to the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development and agreed to take unprecedented steps to achieve gender equality and ensure access to sexual and reproductive health.   The commitment is there but we now need to make sure that this translates into action on the ground, action at country level around the globe.

Key facts and figures highlighting IPPF's achievements in 2015.            

We want to enable all women and girls to decide about their body, the size of their family, their education and future. We provide services to meet their contraceptive needs, and bring about policy changes locally and globally, as their sexual and reproductive rights are human rights. 

The world has the largest youth generation ever.  IPPF is putting young people at the heart of its services: with them, we want to change social norms and guarantee their rights.

The data about gender inequality are shocking: millions of women are victims of early marriage, female genital mutilation and different sorts of gender violence and discrimination. 

Women and girls around the world have an unmet need for reproductive health services.  In 2015, IPPF provided 175 million services, 82% of which went to poor and marginalised people.
