Mission
Uplift International pioneers innovative solutions that advance the health and human rights of every person, including the rights to sexual and reproductive health.
We do this by partnering with communities to conduct multidisciplinary, community-based research; building rights-based programs to expand access to comprehensive reproductive health care services; and creating bioethics training for health and legal professionals so the rights of all individuals will be respected and protected, no matter where they live.
Vision
We envision a world that respects every individual’s dignity, where health is prioritized and human rights are realized for everyone.
We believe that every individual has the human right to access the full range of reproductive health information and services.
We train professionals and build institutions to protect patients, research participants and populations that are most vulnerable, including refugees.
