Major Activities

Activity 2

Increased community access: women have knowledge, skills, social support, and sources of care in their communities to make and act upon their reproductive decisions.ipas builds women's and community leaders' capacity to address stigma, discrimination, power imbalances and the marginalization of women - all of which contribute to poor reproductive health outcomes and limit women's access to quality services. We also support community-led solutions to the problems of unsafe abortion and other public health issues. Our community strategies include efforts to expand women's - particularly young women's - knowledge, skills and ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies and access safe abortions; identify and mitigate barriers to abortion information and care; (continued on schedule o) strengthen communities' ability to prevent unwanted pregnancies, decrease unsafe abortions and increase access to comprehensive abortion information, care and services as a basic human right. In fy13:*ipas-supported interventions to promote women's knowledge, skills, social support and ability to obtain safe abortion care reached 294,484 women in 14 countries, in collaboration with 117 community groups.

Activity 3

Improved policy environment: the policy, legislation and rights environment supports access to comprehensive abortion care and prevention of unwanted pregnancy. Ipas supports the right of each woman to control her own sexuality, fertility, health and well-being. To enable women to make these personal decisions, ipas works with advocates and policymakers around the world to implement laws and policies that support that right. Where laws restrict abortion or where services are limited, women often risk their lives to end unwanted pregnancies. *ipas provided technical support to local partners resulting in policy changes or progress toward improved policies in more than a dozen countries. (continued on schedule o).*ipas advocated in global and regional meetings for women's sexual and reproductive health and rights. Ipas research provided evidence to donors and policymakers about the magnitude and costs of unsafe abortion and the optimal approaches for providing safe abortion care.
