Ipas Africa Alliance

Our work began in 1973, with the provision of life-saving reproductive health technologies for health systems in several countries. Since then, we have experienced amazing growth and change as an organization, but our singular commitment to expand access to abortion has remained constant. Why? Because abortion is essential health care to which everyone has a right.

Today we have offices on four continents. We train providers and work with health systems to ensure high-quality abortion services are available, accessible, and meet people’s needs—including the right and ability to self-manage an abortion with pills. We conduct research with the goal of turning policy into practice. We also partner with local organizations to educate women and their communities on their rights, and we advocate for legal abortion and support local champions for abortion rights.
