About

For nearly 100 years, Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) has advanced its mission to provide comprehensive reproductive health care services; to advocate for public policies which guarantee essential rights of each individual and ensure access to such services; to provide educational programs which enhance understanding of human sexuality; and to promote research and the advancement of technology in reproductive health care. And for over 40 years, PPFA has helped bolster nascent and growing sexual and reproductive health and rights movements in developing countries. PPFA’s international arm, Planned Parenthood Global, provides partners on the ground with technical and financial support and shares lessons learned from the organization’s storied history working to provide care and empower women to plan their families in the U.S.
Planned Parenthood Global currently supports over 50 partners in Africa and Latin America to advocate for and provide reproductive health services. Last year, with Planned Parenthood Global support, these partner organizations provided direct education and information to over 100,000 people and provided contraceptives to nearly 40,000. Recognizing that reducing barriers to sexual and reproductive health services also requires supportive laws and policies, Planned Parenthood Global helps partner organizations develop the advocacy skills they need to educate policymakers and the general public, in addition to monitoring and countering the tactics of opposition groups.
