International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF)

• An estimated 290,000 women die each year in developing countries from pregnancy-related causes, and 2.9 million newborns die in the first month of life. Nearly all of these deaths are preventable.
• Some 225 million women who want to avoid pregnancy are not using safe and effective family planning methods, for reasons ranging from lack access to information or services to lack of support from their partners or communities.
• The majority of adolescents lack adequate knowledge required to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health.
• Despite evident gaps in the area of sexual and reproductive health and rights it remains difficult to advance and prioritize the issue in global and national policies.

The still limited access to sexual and reproductive health and rights information, education and services has major consequences on people’s health and undermines individual, social and economic development

Sexual and reproductive health and rights for all.

Through the work of IPPF Member Associations, IPPF reaches populations in 170 countries, with a particular focus on poor and vulnerable people, on women and girls and on young people. And through its advocacy engagement at the global and regional level IPPF can even reach a larger population.

Through its strategic framework 2016-22, IPPF will contribute to the following outcomes:

1. By 2022, 100 governments will respect, protect and fulfil sexual and reproductive rights and equality.
2. By 2022, one billion people will act freely on their sexual and reproductive health and rights.
3. By 2022, IPPF will be a high performing, accountable and united Federation.
4. By 2022, IPPF and our partners will deliver two billion quality, integrated sexual and reproductive health services.
