About us
The International Planned Parenthood Federation European Network (IPPF EN) is a leading advocate for sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. We work in 41 countries to empower all women, men and young people, especially the most underserved and socially excluded, to live with dignity and to exercise their human right to universal access to sexual and reproductive care. Eradicating poverty and gender inequity is essential to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in all countries, yet this cannot be achieved without universal access to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). IPPF EN covers a hugely diverse region stretching throughout Europe and Central Asia. From Iceland to Kyrgyzstan, and Norway to Israel, our member associations are independent organisations championing the needs of their local populations, especially the most marginalised. They all provide essential sexual and reproductive health care, from equipping young people with emotional and sexual literacy, family planning guidance for all and HIV prevention, and care, to safe and legal abortion, support for survivors of rape and sexual violence, and maternal health care.

⚠️ Project 2025 is a global nightmare – European leaders must act ⚠️ Our new report shows that the far-right and ultraconservative plan for a takeover of the US government could have enormous negative global consequences for gender equality, LGBT+ persons rights and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). RFSU is now calling on the Swedish government to create a European emergency plan. ➡️ Read more in our press release: https://lnkd.in/dVP_ZdEe Regeringskansliet, Utrikesdepartementet Tobias Billström

Norway's new abortion law, if passed, would extend the time limit for abortion on request to 18 weeks, but it also exposes ongoing inequities in access to reproductive healthcare. Time to address the disparities and ensure equal rights for all. Read more: https://bit.ly/3WX7aHG

The recently launched Danish Africa Strategy, “Africa’s Century,” advocates for increased action, strengthened diplomacy, and enhanced equal partnerships with African countries. However, it falls short by omitting critical issues such as sexual and reproductive rights, combating gender-based violence, gender equality, and LGBTIQ+ rights. Additionally, the strategy lacks dedicated chapters on human rights, democracy, and gender equality. As the strategy is implemented, we hope that attention will be given to the safety of women in the workplace, as well as to the significant role women play in peace initiatives. This is equally important in the context of migration and climate adaptation, where the impacts on men, women, girls, and minorities differ significantly. Incorporating a gender lens is essential to the success of this strategy. Read more below. Sex & Samfund / Danish Family Planning Association

Tanker om Afrika strategien-ris og ros Man skal give ros, når det er fortjent, og efter at have læst regeringens strategi ’Afrikas århundrede’, der blev præsenteret i går, er det bestemt værd at påpege de positive takter, Lars Løkke Rasmussen Dan Jørgensen har slået an. Baggrunden er en geopolitisk analyse, hvor verdens tyngdepunkt i disse år rykker sig østpå, og Afrikas fremtid derfor bliver stadig mere påvirket af kræfter, vi ikke værdimæssigt kan spejle os i. Men også en kontinent som spiller er stærk rolle i fremtiden. Det er bestemt positivt, at strategien lægger op til, at vi skal handle mere, styrke diplomatiet og partnerskaber. Og at det skal hvile på ”et stærkt værdisæt” af danske værdier. Set fra Sex & Samfunds side er der dog nogle områder, vi håber, kommer til at spille en mere central rolle, når strategien skal blive til virkelighed. Bl.a. ligger et stort fokus i strategien på erhverv og jobskabelse i lyset af befolkningstilvæksten i Afrika. En fuldstændig afgørende faktor, for at danske virksomheder kan bidrage i den henseende, er inddragelsen af kvinder på arbejdsmarkedet på ordentlige vilkår. Kønsaspektet i strategien er dog desværre så godt som fraværende, selvom vi ved, hvor vigtigt netop den faktor er for nærmest alle forhold i et samfund. I Sex & Samfund / Danish Family Planning Association har vi igennem 10 arbejdet med arbejdsgiver og branche organisationer i øst Afrika for at skabe arbejdspladser hvor kvinder trygt kan gå på arbejde, både når de har menstruation eller bliver gravide - eller hvor de kan undgå at blive udsat for voldtægt og uønsket graviditet. Vores erfaring er at der findes arbejdsgivere i Afrika, som både værdimæssigt og på bundlinjen kan se fordelen ved trygge arbejdspladser. Over hele verden er der en anerkendelse af, at når kvinder bliver inviteret med til bordet, bliver fredsinitiativet mere robuste og socialt retfærdige. Det var også en afgørende del af DK’s kampagne for en plads i FN’s sikkerhedsråd. Alligevel er den brede inddragelse også her fraværende, selvom tematikken “fred og konflikt” har sit eget vigtige og relevante afsnit i strategien. Den samme pointe gør sig også gældende, når det kommer til emnerne migration og klimatilpasning, hvor vi ved, hvor forskelligt mænd, kvinder og minoriteter bliver påvirket. Hele strategien hviler på idéen om pragmatisk idealisme, som konkret bliver oversat til “mindre moralisme og mere ligeværd”. I en verden præget af hård geopolitisk konkurrence forstår jeg analysens udgangspunkt, men der er en risiko for, at balancen tipper, og at vi kommer til at ofre idealerne for pragmatismens alter. Som strategisk partnerorganisation for Udenrigsministeriet kommer vi til at følge implementeringen af strategien tæt og bidrage med alt det vi kan. For ambitionen om at DK skaber et styrket partnerskab med Afrika støtter vi. For DK’s skyld - men mest af alt for de millioner af afrikanske unge, der i 2050 vil udgøre en tredjedel af verdens unge.

🔴 The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the surge of mpox in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) and several African countries a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). ❗ IPPF is deeply concerned about this development and stands in solidarity with the affected communities. This rapid spread of a new mpox strain underscores the urgent need for a coordinated global response. We call on international partners to mobilize resources and support efforts to curb this outbreak, ensuring equitable access to vaccines, diagnostics, and care. IPPF will continue to closely monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available. Read more 👉 https://lnkd.in/dN45XXQM
