IPAS UK Partners For Reproductive Justice

Background

Ipas UK is an independent charitable incorporated organization (CIO) and registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales in July 2023. Ipas UK is a member of the Ipas Impact Network, which is committed to a shared vision and mission. Our mission is to ensure that all people have the right and ability to determine their own sexuality and reproductive health. We do this by working through effective, equitable, and intersectional partnerships and integrating abortion into the broader health, gender equality, and social justice movements.

The Charitable Objects of Ipas UK are the advancement of health by the promotion, support and facilitation of sexual and reproductive health services including abortion but not exclusively by:

A. The advancement of education in relation to sexual and reproductive health services including abortion B. The provision of information and consultation regarding the need for and delivery of sexual and reproductive health care and rights

C. The provision of information and training on the need for and provision of sexual and reproductive health care and rights including abortion

D. The provision of information, training and advice on standards for the provision of sexual and reproductive healthcare and rights, including abortion.

Activities

All Ipas UK activities aim to advance the charitable objects outlined above in support of reproductive health and rights across Africa, Asia and Latin America. We collaborate closely with a range of stakeholders who align with the advancement of Ipas UK’s charitable objects to include but not limited to organisations, charities, foundations, academic institutions and government counterparts and individuals. We support partnerships between these institutions and the Ipas global network to accelerate the charitable objects. Ipas UK is a strategic partner and thought leader delivering information and consultation on the need for sexual and reproductive health care and rights to include abortion.

This annual reporting period is the first one for Ipas UK as a registered charity in England and Wales. Following Charity Commission registration, Ipas UK operationalized the charitable objects through the engagement of aligned networks to include sexual and reproductive health and rights networks and gender and development networks and women peace and security networks to amplify the provision of information and advice on the need for sexual and reproductive health and rights (hereafter SRHR).

As a member of the Ipas Impact network, we are pleased to present the summary of the Ipas global networks achievements for the inclusion in Ipas UK’s annual report to the Charity Commission. Ipas UK and our partners have made significant strides in expanding access to safe abortion and contraception, strengthening health systems, and building resilient, rights-based movements in 2023-2024.

Expanding Access and Impact Globally

This year, the Ipas network reached almost 2 million people across Africa, Asia, and Latin America with vital information on sexual and reproductive health and rights. Through direct outreach, digital campaigns, and community partnerships, teams and trained peer educators provided accurate, life-saving information to over 14,000 individuals in countries such as Bolivia, Nepal, Nigeria, Myanmar, and South Africa. In Latin America and the Caribbean, our digital platforms reached more than 11 million people, ensuring that even those in remote or marginalized communities had access to essential resources.

We continued to innovate, notably through the launch of the “Te Acompaño” chatbot in Mexico, designed specifically for migrants along key migration routes. This AI-powered tool has already facilitated nearly 10,000 interactions, connecting users to safe abortion information, support services, and referral resourcesdemonstrating our commitment to meeting the needs of vulnerable populations in crisis settings.

Strengthening Health Systems and Building Capacity

Ipas supported over 9,200 access points for sexual and reproductive health and rights to include abortion care globally, including nearly 2,000 sites for self-managed abortion with pills. Our efforts enabled 456,917 people to

receive abortion services at Ipas-supported facilities across 25 countries, and more than 1.6 million people accessed contraception. In crisis-affected regions such as the Rohingya refugee camps in Bangladesh, we provided targeted training for health workers, ensuring that reproductive health care remains available even in the most challenging environments.

Collaboration and Local Leadership

The Ipas Impact Network’s structure empowers local leadership while leveraging global expertise. This year, we facilitated capacity-building initiatives for our network nodes, supported business development, and fostered partnerships with European embassies and donors. These collaborations have resulted in new funding streams and strengthened our ability to respond to emerging needs.

Looking Ahead

As we reflect on these achievements, we recognize the ongoing challenges posed by humanitarian crises, climate change and movements that oppose the advancement of sexual and reproductive health and rights. Ipas remains committed to reimagining how we address sexual and reproductive health and rights-ensuring that our work is locally driven, evidence-based, and responsive to the needs of those most at risk. We extend our deepest gratitude to partners and supporters. Together, we are building a world where everyone’s reproductive rights are respected and protected.
