Ipas has begun a transformation in the way we work!

Dear John,
As the president and CEO of a global reproductive justice organization, it’s my job to tackle the patriarchy head-on—to fight the racist, sexist and colonialist policies and practices that deny women and girls the right to safe, high-quality abortion and contraceptive care. But in the last year, I’ve also started looking inward at how to “decolonize” Ipas itself.

I believe post-coloniality is a journey—one that the global health field has just begun. I’m proud to share that last year at Ipas, we began our own multi-year journey to shift power within our organization. We’re calling it the Ipas Road Map, and it’s a plan to transform Ipas into a networked global organization with authority, power and leadership dispersed and shared across a network of offices, rather than centralized in the U.S.

I just wrote a blog post titled “Shaping a post-colonial INGO” to explain the changes we’re making. I invite you to read it and learn more about this very exciting shift in the way we work to achieve Ipas’s mission.

I’m proud of what we’ve done so far. I’m also happy to hear from our community of supporters on this topic—please reply to this email with any thoughts or questions!

In solidarity,

Anu Kumar

Ipas President and CEO
