INTERNATIONAL PLANNED PARENTHOOD FEDERATION

IPPF is the world’s largest and most enduring network for sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice.

IPPF is a global federation and movement of 100+ locally led Member Associations in 150+ countries, dedicated to your sexual and reproductive health, rights, and justice. Formed from a simple idea, a vision of a courageous group of women, we have grown into communities, into clinics, into classrooms and courts. We are healthcare providers, educators, activists, researchers, and volunteers. We are united by a commitment to equality and justice for everyone, everywhere. We are locally led and globally connected. We champion not only rights and dignity but also joy, intimacy, and pleasure that are essential to human wellbeing.

We deliver essential sexual and reproductive health services, and we advance, defend, and celebrate rights, dignity, and pleasure. Our efforts include health services, sex education, policy change, assistance in crises, and advocacy from grassroots communities to national and international political arenas. We work towards radical and long-term change, culturally, structurally, and politically. We advance and defend rights, shape public health approaches and services, and change narratives of sexual and reproductive health and rights. We stand up when others cannot or do not. We speak out for those who cannot. We amplify the voices of those who can. We are committed to a transformational vision of a more just future in which rights, dignity, joy, and pleasure are universal.
