As part of our ongoing journey to protect and advance the rights and needs of women, girls, and gender-diverse people, we joined forces with the Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE) and the International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC) to create a new feminist alliance, under the leadership of IPPFWHR.
CHANGE, a Washington-based organization, has been at the forefront of securing and protecting SRHR for all, driving public conversation, and shaping U.S. and global health policy.
IWHC has committed to bring its critical experience with policy, advocacy, and Trust Based Grant Making—which is highly valued by partners in the Global South—primarily in the regions of Latin America, Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
Consolidating the work of all three organizations brings together sexual and reproductive health care and services, advocacy for sexual and reproductive rights and gender justice, and grant-making to grassroots activists and organizations.
“This is an exciting new chapter for our many years of work, creating a stronger, globally focused, intersectional feminist alliance on sexual and reproductive health and rights. We are joining forces to amplify the resilience and creativity of women leaders and activists who envision a feminist future for all, free of gender, sexual, and racial discrimination.”
– Fòs Feminista CEO Giselle Carino
[Update: This alliance launched in October 2021 as Fòs Feminista: International Alliance for Sexual and Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice. Read the press release here.]
IPPFWHR is not affiliated with the global International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) or with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA).
