In the Philippines, partner PANTAY secured a commitment from a national high school to integrate menstrual health and rights into its programming. PANTAY also created the training materials to make this change real in schools and communities.
In Nigeria, Fòs Feminista partner EVA led a coordinated advocacy effort with other Fòs partners to push for the country’s first national policy, which was approved in August 2025. The policy treats menstrual health as an issue of dignity, equity, and rights.
In response to a national uproar about highly publicized cases of sexual and gender-based violence in Brazil, the national Congress passed a law requiring that all nightlife and leisure spaces – including bars, clubs, and concert venues– train their employees to recognize and prevent violence. However, there was no system in place for providing this training to millions of workers or for certifying businesses as safe spaces.
We partnered with UN Women to prepare more than 85 young feminist activists from the Global South for advocacy during the CSW, 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 the contributions of women and girls of African descent to sustainable development.
In a highly restrictive legal context, Fòs Feminista partner FEDERA supported the Parliament to draft a new bill to liberalize the abortion law, which was referred to the Commission for review – a first in Poland. FEDERA also partnered with the Ministry of Health to develop new technical guidelines on the provision of legal abortion according to WHO standards. FEDERA is documenting the denial of care at public hospitals, supporting the enforcement of a new penalty system rolled out by the Ministry of Health to ensure that legal rights are upheld in practice.
In Ecuador, our joint advocacy efforts with INNOVA Health Supplies, CEPAM-G and the Ministry of Health resulted in the approval of the first batch of mifepristone to be imported into the country – a donation from Fòs Feminista. In September 2025, the Ministry launched new abortion guidelines that allow the prescription of mifepristone
