The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is a global non-governmental organization that champions sexual and reproductive health and rights for all individuals. Established in 1952, IPPF operates in over 170 countries, providing essential services and advocating for policies that promote access to family planning and reproductive health care.

With a mission to ensure that every individual has the right to make informed choices about their sexual and reproductive health, IPPF focuses on several core activities:

• Advocacy: IPPF works tirelessly to influence policy at local, national, and international levels, ensuring that sexual and reproductive health rights are recognized and upheld.
• Service Delivery: The federation provides a wide range of services, including contraception, maternal health care, and education on sexual health, reaching millions of people each year.
• Education and Awareness: Through various programs, IPPF educates communities about sexual health, empowering individuals with knowledge to make informed decisions.
• Research and Innovation: IPPF invests in research to improve service delivery and develop innovative solutions to address emerging challenges in sexual and reproductive health.

IPPF envisions a world where all individuals can exercise their rights to sexual and reproductive health without discrimination. The organization collaborates with governments, civil society, and other stakeholders to create an enabling environment for these rights.

Headquartered in London, UK, IPPF is committed to promoting gender equality and ensuring that vulnerable populations, including young people and marginalized groups, have access to necessary health services. By fostering partnerships and mobilizing resources, IPPF continues to be a leading voice in the global movement for sexual and reproductive health and rights.
