John – the COVID-19 pandemic has touched most lives, often in catastrophic ways. It also represents one of the greatest challenges ever faced by the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

Sexual and reproductive healthcare has taken a huge hit during this gruelling time; funding sources have been slashed, and clinics globally have been forced to shut during lockdowns to help stop the spread of the coronavirus. Our Member Associations have done a heroic job in keeping as many services running as possible – but our ability to continue delivering, and to defend and advance the rights of some of the world’s most vulnerable communities is still facing enormous strain.

This is where you come in. Will you consider donating what you can to help us continue supporting sexual and reproductive health needs around the world?

From India, Zambia, Japan and Iran, to Spain, Syria, Ireland, and beyond, we have seen a major disruption, deprioritization, and overall decrease in the provision of sexual and reproductive healthcare services almost everywhere. Life-saving services including contraception, safe abortion care, comprehensive sexuality education, and support to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.

The pandemic has shone a light on the inequalities that exist in healthcare provision, and healthcare services are stretched to the limit. Urgent action is required to ensure the gap does not turn into an even bigger chasm.

This pandemic isn’t over until it’s over for everyone. Your generous donation will ensure our healthcare workers can continue to care for the world’s most vulnerable and marginalized people at this particularly demanding time.
