With a bold vision for advancing SRHR from an intersectional lens and a commitment to feminist leadership, F\u00f2s Feminista is on the leading edge of sexual and reproductive health care and is transforming advocacy spaces with voices from the Global South.\n\n<em>F\u00f2s<\/em>, que significa \u201cfuerza\u201d en criollo haitiano, refleja el dinamismo y el impulso de la alianza para desafiar todas las formas de opresi\u00f3n. <em>Feminista<\/em>, meaning \"feminist\" in several languages, underscores the alliance\u2019s commitment to gender and reproductive justice. (<a href=\"https:\/\/fosfeminista.orgmedia\/every-name-tells-a-story\/\">Lee la historia detr\u00e1s del nombre.<\/a>.)\n<blockquote>\u201cNuestro nuevo nombre honra nuestros casi 70 a\u00f1os de historia trabajando en Am\u00e9rica Latina y el Caribe para brindar atenci\u00f3n de salud sexual y reproductiva a mujeres y ni\u00f1as\u201d, dijo Jovana R\u00edos Cisnero, presidenta del Consejo Directivo de F\u00f2s Feminista. \u201cY al mismo tiempo es un llamado a la acci\u00f3n para nuestras aspiraciones de co-crear un futuro feminista\u201d.\u201d<\/blockquote>\nF\u00f2s Feminista carries forward the work and partnerships of IPPFWHR, CHANGE, and the International Women\u2019s Health Coalition (IWHC), which formed an alliance in June 2021. The international alliance now works with more than 135 organizations in 35+ countries in all regions across the world. They are providers of sexual and reproductive health care and services and comprehensive sexuality education, and activists for sexual and reproductive rights.\n\nThroughout the COVID-19 pandemic, F\u00f2s Feminista has worked with its partners to implement a feminist response that prioritizes women and girls. To ensure continuity of sexual and reproductive health care, these partners scaled up telehealth models, established home delivery of contraceptives, and pioneered text and phone-based hotlines for counseling survivors of gender-based violence.\n\nWith local partners and a leadership presence in key advocacy spaces, F\u00f2s Feminista is uniquely positioned to connect and amplify strategies and voices from the grassroots to the national, regional, and global levels. F\u00f2s Feminista is rising the Green Wave from Argentina to expand abortion rights in other parts of the world. In Mexico, where the Supreme Court recently decriminalized abortion, F\u00f2s Feminista supports more than a dozen local organizations to ensure the ruling translates into increased access to abortion for women and girls. The Green Wave victory in Mexico provides inspiration for U.S. feminist movements as they confront the Texas abortion ban, bolstering solidarity without borders.\n<blockquote>\u201cA stronger feminist voice is needed now more than ever,\" said Giselle Carino, CEO of F\u00f2s Feminista. \"The growth of right-wing authoritarianism and anti-gender movements, the climate change crisis, and the ongoing pandemic all disproportionately affect women and girls, with negative consequences for their sexual and reproductive health and rights. By acting in solidarity, we can meet these challenges with creativity and resilience.\"<\/blockquote>\nPara obtener m\u00e1s informaci\u00f3n, comun\u00edquese con Mar\u00eda Boldt por correo electr\u00f3nico a mboldt@mrss.com o por tel\u00e9fono al 319-541-8228.\n\n<em>* La Federaci\u00f3n Internacional de Planificaci\u00f3n Familiar de la Regi\u00f3n del Hemisferio Occidental no est\u00e1 afiliada a la Federaci\u00f3n Internacional de Planificaci\u00f3n Familiar (IPPF) ni a la Federaci\u00f3n de Planificaci\u00f3n Familiar de Estados Unidos (PPFA).<\/em>","":null,"anchor_id":""}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
