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.

by Ana Martha Sanchez | May 10, 2023 | Human rights

Safe abortion allows women and others who have the capacity to bear children to have a choice of motherhood: to decide whether or not to become mothers, when they want to become mothers, and to plan other aspects of how they want to carry out this experience.
