Letter from the CEO

Around the world, sexual and reproductive health and rights are under threat – yet philanthropic funding is not keeping pace with the scale of the challenges. The needs of women and girls are urgent, immediate, and undeniable.

This is not a moment to step back or narrow our scope. Instead, we are doubling down on our commitments.

We are expanding access to sexual and reproductive health care. We are raising our voices for reproductive justice. We are investing in the long-term sustainability of the feminist movement. Because we know this truth: without a movement, there can be no progress.

Creating cross-sector solutions

Cervical cancer prevention, Guyana

Cervical cancer is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among women in Guyana, yet only one in ten women have access to screening for this preventable and treatable disease. When the government launched an ambitious national program to end cervical cancer, in 2024, Fòs Feminista partner GRPA stepped up to help fill the critical gap in screening for women.

Bringing care to migrants

Contraceptive access, Colombia

Jersiuska (left) and Yeriuska (right) Aguilar, sisters from Venezuela, migrated to Colombia seeking a better life, but accessing basic health care proved difficult.

For more than a year, they struggled to find the right contraceptive method—until they met Fòs Feminista partner Fundación Mujer y Futuro, which provided access to free contraceptive pills. This gave them the peace of mind and confidence to make their own choices about their future, including deciding not to have more children.

“I feel like I have my life back. Fundación Mujer y Futuro even covered transportation costs for us to get to their clinic. I’m very grateful for their work,” says Jersiuska.

Safe spaces for young people

Youth network, Bolivia

Through comprehensive sexuality peer education, Mel and Gabriela help create safe spaces where other young people can share their experiences and access information and care. This includes access to contraceptive methods and information on the prevention of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, as well as support for gender-based violence.

Advocacy in Action

Abortion rights, Poland

Advancing reproductive autonomy

In a highly restrictive legal context for sexual and reproductive health and rights, Fòs Feminista partner FEDERA has been leading a multi-pronged approach to affirming reproductive autonomy and removing barriers to abortion access. FEDERA supported the Parliament to draft a new bill to liberalize the abortion law, which was endorsed by a parliamentary commission – a first in Poland. FEDERA also partnered with the Ministry of Health to develop new technical guidelines on the provision of legal abortion and to mandate medical training based on WHO standards.

UN Advocacy, International

Fòs Feminista at the Commission on the Status of Women

We partnered with UN Women to prepare more than 85 young feminist activists from the Global South for advocacy during the 2024 Commission on the Status of Women, and we strengthened collective advocacy as co-convener of the Women’s Rights Caucus. These efforts resulted in stronger outcomes on gender-based violence, sexual and reproductive health, and recognizing the contributions of women and girls of African descent to sustainable development.

Policy Change, Nigeria

Shaping Nigeria's first menstrual health policy

In August 2025, Nigeria approved a new policy that recognizes menstrual health as a matter of dignity, equity, and rights – a first for the country. This milestone is the result of the leadership and tenacity of Fòs Feminista partner EVA, which successfully advocated with the Federal Ministry of Women Affairs to revitalize and expand the Technical Working Group on menstrual dignity. By broadening its scope to include cross-sectoral ministries and bringing other Fòs Feminista partners into the process, EVA ensured that diverse perspectives shaped the discussions and built strong political support for a comprehensive national approach to menstrual health. Among these partners was ASVIOL (photo), which contributed its expertise on menstrual health in the workplace during the Technical Working Group sessions.
