Far-right movements and oppressive regimes are attacking reproductive freedom and human rights—trying to divide and silence us. From war-torn Gaza to Sudan to U.S. statehouses, essential care is being stripped away. But we refuse to back down.

Fueled by solidarity, we’re building a global movement—because your voice isn’t just a drop in the ocean. It’s a spark for change.

This is our hub for action, a place to stay engaged and take meaningful steps toward change. Keep coming back—because real change happens when we show up, again and again.

Without you, our movement is just a moment—but together, 

we make it unstoppable.

I close my eyes and take in their harrowing stories.

Krystyna, Poland

I lead the Foundation for Women and Family Planning (FEDERA) in Warsaw. We have been partnering with IPPF since the start of the invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces, to provide essential sexual and reproductive health services to women and children escaping Ukraine for surrounding countries, like Poland.

My office, a tiny nondescript space at the bottom of an apartment building on the outskirts of Warsaw, has doubled its staff from five to ten people in the last few months alone to keep up with the workload, but it’s still not enough.

I often need to lie down and close my eyes for thirty minutes after some interactions with refugees, as their stories are so harrowing and my responsibility to them so large. 

We helped, for example, two teenagers, 14 and 15 years old, who were raped by Russian soldiers on their way to the Polish border. A volunteer called me during the night and asked what to do. It was the third week of the war. I asked her when it happened, and she told me the assaults took place 20 hours ago.

I met the young girls at the Warsaw railway station in the dark of the night, and we went together to a private clinic, which opened during the night for us. They were provided with medical procedures for survivors of rape, antiretroviral injections, and HIV tests. They were so thankful; they had no words to thank us.

My lips offer a smile as I enter the clinic.

Maysa, Care Provider, West Bank

When I step into the office of the Palestinian Family Planning and Protection Association (PFPPA) in Hebron, where I have worked for 18 years, I offer a smile.

Since the war on Gaza began, movement across the West Bank has become more restricted. Nearly 1,000 Israeli checkpoints, gates, and roadblocks have fractured everyday life. For me, reaching the office means waiting for shared transport, navigating settler-only bypass roads, and sometimes walking through olive groves to avoid closed routes or trigger-happy soldiers. But this never stops me.

I lead PFPPA’s efforts to deliver sexual and reproductive health services, social counseling, and legal support to women. I also advocate for women’s rights and fairer laws. For me, this is not just a job. This is a belief.

I have seen what transformative care can look like. One case stands out: a woman came to the PFPPA clinic after surviving 15 years of abuse and psychological trauma. Married as a teenager, she had endured in silence. Within two years of receiving care at our clinic—psychological support, legal advice, and health services—she became an entrepreneur, running her own small business and reclaiming her life.

I’ve learned that breaking the cycle of injustice takes time and trust. We work with each woman according to her needs, at her own pace. If a woman cannot come to us, we go to her. We’ve learned to read the signs—the visible ones and the ones hidden behind silence or averted eyes.

We can’t talk about rights with someone who’s struggling to afford food. In some places, we start with nutrition or hygiene. In others, we talk about safety or mobility. Then, when there’s trust, we talk about family planning or empowerment. Women’s empowerment is not separate from national liberation—it’s part of it.

What motivates me is the belief that we can break the cycle. We can plant something better, we can be ready—not just for survival, but for a future built on justice.
