About Us

Ipas, founded in 1973 in North Carolina, USA, operates globally to promote reproductive justice by expanding access to abortion (referred to as menstrual regulation (MR) in Bangladesh)* and contraception.
In 2011, Ipas began operations in Bangladesh, collaborating with the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (MoHFW), Directorate General of Family Planning (DGFP), Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), Directorate General of Nursing and Midwifery (DGNM), NGOs, donors, and stakeholders for strengthening the health system. Initially focusing on menstrual regulation (MR), postabortion care (PAC), and family planning (FP) services, our efforts have evolved to advocate for institutionalized sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services.

Why is it important to plan the first sexual intercourse?

by Ana Martha Sanchez | Jul 6, 2021 | Reproductive health, Sexual and Reproductive Rights, Sexual health, Teenagers

Having sex for the first time is an extremely important and personal decision. As much time as it takes for each person to feel absolutely sure that they want to have sex for the first time is always okay.
