for women and others with childbearing capacity to make reproductive decisions in freedom and enjoyment.
Ipas Latin America and the Caribbean (Ipas LAC) is a regional nonprofit organization that is part of an international nonprofit network working in the Americas, Africa and Asia.
We work to promote reproductive justice by expanding access to abortion and contraception. We firmly believe that all people have the right to make decisions about their own bodies, health and reproduction.
Local work, regional impact
Ipas LAC is actively working in Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico and Nicaragua to promote access to safe abortion within a sustainable ecosystem.
In addition, through strategic alliances, we have carried out actions and interventions in other countries in the region, expanding our impact and collaborating to guarantee the reproductive rights of women and people with reproductive capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean. These actions include awareness-raising, training, technical support and policy strengthening activities that contribute to the creation of favorable environments for sexual and reproductive health (SRH).
