The Human Right to Family Planning (HR2FP) Initiative
We believe that every individual has the human right to access the full range of reproductive health information and services. This includes abortion care.
Women around the world struggle to access scientifically-based information and safe, affordable and legal reproductive health services.
In the U.S., the Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade in 2022, allowing states to decide about abortion access. The impact of this legal decision has been catastrophic for millions of women and adolescents. The country is now facing a medical, public health and human rights crisis.
In response, our Human Right to Family Planning (HR2FP) Initiative has keenly focused on two strategies:
- Pioneering an innovative program for pharmacists to expand access to medication abortion. Read more about the Pharmacist Abortion Access Project (PAAP).
- Exploring best ways to improve access to over-the-counter family planning methods in American Indian communities.
