I’ve never really had much time or conditions to do a lot of personal care. But now I think thattaking care of myself is also a way to take care of my kidsAndrezza Francisco Paulo, Brazil
Andrezza – a 28-year-old mother of two living in the Maré favelas in Rio de Janeiro – accessed a free copper IUD after receiving information about contraceptive methods and a referral through the Casa das Mulheres da Maré, an initiative of Fòs Feminista’s partner Redes da Maré.
From 2023-2024, our advocacy efforts contributed to 190 positive law and policy outcomes that protect sexual and reproductive health and rights.
Some key outcomes include:
With support from Fòs Feminista partner CEPEP, Paraguay’s Senate amended the national law on sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). The reform created new safeguards for women, including a national hotline for reporting abuse.
Since Mexico’s 2021 Supreme Court ruling against criminalization, Fòs Feminista partners have worked state by state to align laws with reproductive rights. In May, Tabasco became the 24th state to codify abortion decriminalization, strengthening the green wave for abortion rights.
Fòs Feminista partner TICAH stopped a harmful government policy that threatened adolescent sexual and reproductive health. Their action protected young people—especially girls and young women—from regressive restrictions on care and rights.
In Latin America and the Caribbean, Fòs Feminista works with partners to ensure survivors of sexual and gender-based violence receive care while challenging the cultural, legal, and social barriers that fuel inequality. Our regional initiative combines education, services, legal reform, and community power to build a future free from violence.
