In many places in the world, it’s hard enough to access abortion or contraception in normal, daily life. Once a crisis hits, access can quickly become nonexistent. 

That’s the reality for millions of people around the world impacted by violent conflict or climate disasters. And while health services often shut down during a crisis, people’s sexual and reproductive health needs don’t stop. In fact, sexual violence and unintended pregnancies tend to spike when life is disrupted, making these health needs even more urgent. 

At Ipas, we’ve found there are many ways to quickly and efficiently increase people’s access to the care they need—solutions like mobile health clinics in refugee camps, training health workers who serve displaced people, and chatbots to help people find care nearby. 

Want to see what this crucial and often lifesaving work looks like in action? We’ve got a new story on our website that spotlights 6 ways Ipas is ensuring abortion access in crisis settings.  

Together, we’ll keep working for a world where every person—no matter who, no matter where—has bodily autonomy. Thank you for standing with us.
