Partners for reproductive justice tagline

For over 50 years, Ipas has been laser-focused on building a world where all women and girls can control their own bodies and futures.

We work with partners across Africa, Asia and the Americas to ensure that reproductive health care, including legal abortion and contraception, are available and accessible to all.

Our holistic approach is locally led but makes systems-level change. We strengthen and coordinate with existing public health systems and community organizations so that safe abortion and contraception become integrated, sustainable parts of health care.

Resist & Persist

We’re here to support and celebrate all who fight for justice alongside us. Together, we’ll keep moving forward.

We work for a more just world—and we work in a way that upholds our values.

We are a locally led, globally connected network, and we pay attention to equity, power and accountability in all aspects of how we work.
