About
Fòs Feminista unites a global feminist alliance for reproductive justice. With 180 partners across 35 countries, we work side by side to defend access to abortion care, contraception, and other vital health services.
We confront stigma and regressive policies head-on, mobilizing collective power to protect rights and save lives. Together, our alliance proves that solidarity can overcome any barrier.
Every action we take is rooted in the belief that reproductive justice is a human right. And every win shows what’s possible when people come together to demand change. Your support fuels this movement. With you, we can ensure that all people have the power to control their bodies, their health, and their futures.
Our Mission
Fòs Feminista fights for universal access to reproductive health care, including abortion, and for comprehensive sex education. With feminist partners worldwide, we work so the most marginalized women, girls, and gender-diverse people can claim their rights and achieve justice.

More Than a Partner
Fòs Feminista’s role is extremely important for our organization because it has allowed us to advance our objectives, including reproductive justice and comprehensive sexuality education, particularly for Indigenous and Afro-Mexican girls and women. We believe that Fòs Feminista’s support has been essential and that without it, it would have been much more difficult to make progress.Indira Rodriguez Rios, Co-Director

Our Story
Fòs Feminista launched in 2021 under the leadership of what was then the International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region (IPPFWHR). With a vision to strengthen our collective impact for reproductive justice worldwide, we joined forces with two mission-aligned feminist organizations – the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) and Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE). With seven decades of IPPFWHR’s work in Latin America and the Caribbean as its foundation, the Alliance preserves and expands the legacies of all three organizations.
Our Name
Our name combines the Haitian Creole word fòs (strength) with the Portuguese and Spanish word feminista (feminist). Together, they express the strength we build so every woman and girl can access the reproductive health care she needs to shape her future.

Our Commitment to Gender Justice
At Fòs Feminista, gender justice and reproductive justice drive our fight for human rights and universal access to sexual and reproductive health care, including contraception, abortion care, and maternal health.
Gender justice means taking on the systems that hold people back—laws, poverty, stigma, violence, and policy neglect—so that women, girls, and gender-diverse people can shape their own futures with dignity and equality.
Gender is shaped by culture and power, and it is also affirmed through self-determination when people define themselves as women, men, non-binary, transgender, or genderqueer.
