New coalition aims to prevent what happened in the U.S.

Hi John,
Here’s a bit of encouraging news: Advocates for reproductive rights in Africa are taking action.

The repeal of Roe v. Wade in the United States—and the subsequent ripple effect of anti-rights activity around the world—has prompted African advocates to recognize an urgent need to protect hard-won gains and expand abortion access in ways that can’t be overturned, as they were in the U.S.

The challenge: There are many grassroots and national movements working for abortion rights across Africa, but they’re often working in isolation from one another and without the benefit of mutual learning and collaboration for greater impact.

The solution: Ipas and key partners have launched CATALYSTS—an ambitious, Africa-led coalition of abortion rights advocates that aims to become a central platform for advocacy across the continent.

“As a space for convening and connection, CATALYSTS gives us a platform from which all of us can adopt the same strategies and present a unified front in our fight against the growing anti-rights movement that threatens to limit and rollback reproductive rights,” says Dr. Angela Akol, director of Ipas Africa Alliance.
