For over 50 years, we’ve resisted and persisted, working hard alongside our partners to achieve historic law and policy changes that have expanded reproductive rights and abortion access for millions around the world—from the Democratic Republic of Congo and Ethiopia to Nepal, Pakistan, Mexico and Bolivia.  

Change doesn’t happen overnight—and often not without major setbacks and opposition. But we keep going, knowing that our proven strategies, incredible partners and deep commitment to reproductive justice will prevail. 

Today, for International Safe Abortion Day, we’re sharing 9 examples of how we’ve worked to catalyze significant law and policy change to expand repro rights. 

These wins are thanks to the resilience of many Ipas staff, partners and supporters—including you. We couldn’t make positive change in the lives of millions without your steadfast support.  

Thanks, as always, for standing with us. 

In solidarity, 

Your friends at Ipas
