Mission

Ipas is an international organization that works with partners around the world to advance reproductive justice by expanding access to abortion and contraception. We believe that abortion is essential health care to which everyone has a right. We work on five continents with a comprehensive approach that centers the needs of those who seek abortion care. We aim to build sustainable abortion ecosystems that address all factors impacting a person's ability to access abortion-from individual health knowledge, to social and community support, to a trained health workforce, to political leadership and supportive laws. To that end, we train providers and work with health systems to ensure accessible, high-quality abortion services-including the right and ability to self-manage an abortion with pills.
