IPPF/WHR’s Vision

IPPF/WHR envisages a world in which all women, men and young people have access to the information and services they need; a world in which sexuality is recognized both as a natural and precious aspect of life and as a fundamental human right; a world in which choices are fully respected and where stigma and discrimination have no place.

 

What we Believe

We believe that sexual and reproductive rights should be internationally recognized as human rights and therefore guaranteed for everyone. We encourage individuals, women in particular, to take control of their reproductive lives. We promote equality between men and women, aiming to eliminate gender biases, especially those that threaten the well-being of women and girls. Above all we promote choices.

 

IPPF/WHR’s Mission

The mission of IPPF/WHR is to:

  • Improve the quality of life of individuals by campaigning for sexual and reproductive health and rights through advocacy and services, especially for poor and vulnerable people;
  • Defend the right of all young people to enjoy their sexual lives free from ill-health, unwanted pregnancy, violence and discrimination;
  • Support a woman’s right to choose to terminate her pregnancy legally and safely; and
  • Strive to eliminate sexually transmitted infections and reduce the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS.
