In the Fall 2010 edition of Reaching Out, learn about how IPPF/WHR tackles the complex problem of gender based violence and how IPPF/WHR scales up its efforts to ensure that all young people have access to sexual and reproductive health.

As one of the Code's original signatories and members of the current Steering Committee, IPPF has integrated its good practice principles into our work and actively promotes the Code around the world.
