We are a network of 40 sexual and reproductive health organizations across North America, Latin America, and the Caribbean. Our Member Associations provide 19.4 million services each year. These range from sexuality education, contraceptive services, and prenatal care to HIV testing, abortion-related care, and screening for gender-based violence. We also act as advocates for sexual and reproductive rights at the local and international levels. Our clients are women, men, and adolescents from diverse economic, cultural, and geographic backgrounds.
Our work is grounded in the belief that health care is a basic human right. We strive to ensure every individual’s access to quality health services, in particular the poor and underserved. We strategically structure our work around five programmatic areas: Abortion, Access, Adolescents, Advocacy and AIDS/HIV/STI.
Our Regional Office, based in New York City, has more than 55 staff members who offer support to our Member Associations in a variety of areas, which include program planning, sustainability, monitoring and evaluation, governance, and fundraising. We are one of six worldwide regions of the International Planned Parenthood Federation.
