The global landscape for sexual and reproductive health and rights is undergoing rapid transformation, shaped by the U.S. regressive policies. IPPF views the America First Global Health Strategy (AFGHS) and the expanded Global Gag Rule as deliberate moves to destabilise democracies, undermine human rights, and prioritise the commercial and political interests of a few powerful industries over the health and freedoms of millions. As a Federation that persistently resisting any forms of regressions of our rights, we must respond with clarity, courage, and coordinated action.

We invite you to join this webinar to unpack this rapidly shifting landscape and clarify what these changes mean for IPPF and the broader movements. We will break the big picture: how are these policies reshaping advocacy, service delivery and civic space, what are the immediate and long-term implications for our work. And how can we collectively navigate this new terrain. We will look at how IPPF is mobilising a coordinated fight-back strategy across political intelligence, narratives, partnerships, and movement support.
