Good morning,

It's been nine months since Ukraine was thrust into a full-scale invasion. This war is devastating and the consequences for the people of Ukraine are tragic and brutal.

Millions of people have fled Ukraine into neighboring countries in Europe. The majority of these refugees are women and children, and many of them face severe barriers to accessing sexual and reproductive health care. The laws and policies on sexual and reproductive rights in neighboring Hungary, Poland, and Slovakia are among some of the most restrictive in Europe.

In response, we have partnered with organizations on the ground to identify and address barriers to sexual and reproductive health care faced by refugees. We are also supporting our partner organizations' efforts to provide information and direct assistance to refugees.

Your support for our work extends across borders, reaching people where they are, when they most need help.

Will you give now to support our work to improve access to reproductive health care and information for Ukrainian refugees and others around the world in need? And remember, your gift today will be TRIPLED to further the fight for reproductive health care worldwide.

Within Ukraine, attacks have led to the destruction of many health facilities, including those providing maternal health. For those fleeing Ukraine, longstanding barriers to the fundamental right to reproductive health care in many neighboring countries are giving rise to real-time harm.

This war is a human rights emergency that is growing and changing daily. Your support allows us to nimbly advocate for as many people as possible in these rapidly changing conditions.

Please consider donating today to help those fleeing Ukraine, and people around the world who have been denied their fundamental human right to reproductive health care.

In gratitude for your support,

Leah Hoctor
Senior Regional Director for Europe
