Standing firm against reproductive coercion

Women’s sexual and reproductive rights are under threat in Europe, in a climate of growing attacks on human rights, democracy and civic space. Ultra-conservative forces are trying to stifle people’s reproductive freedom and impose a coercive worldview about gender roles in family and public lives. Their cruelest tactic is forcing women through pregnancy by promoting refusal of abortion care. IPPF European Network champions reproductive freedom and access to abortion care, adapting our approach to the reality and needs of women from Norway to Tajikistan. Our work ranges from ensuring women have a voice in decision-making spaces to supporting grassroot activists and civil society movements. From providing abortion care services, to supporting health care professionals to provide the safest, highest quality care. Our members and partners are campaigners, care providers and advocates.  Read Keti's story and our latest blog series to find out how women in Georgia are being denied safe and dignified reproductive lives, and how IPPF's Georgian member, HERA XXI, is helping to tackle this.

Reproductive freedom is not a reality for everyone across Europe

In the EU all young women are free to decide about their own bodies, lives and futures. Or are they? Being denied sex and relationships literacy, stigma, gender inequalities and high costs stop girls from accessing contraception. IPPF EN cares for all women, men, children and young people across Europe and recognises their right to lead safe and dignified reproductive lives, free from harm and descrimination.  You can see the rest of our videos from this series here.

IPPF EN cares: Supporting neglected communities in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

In many countries in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, young people from marginalised groups most vulnerable to HIV are being harmed by high levels of violence, discrimination and stigma, and it is enormously difficult for them to access the care they need. This is the only region in the world where the HIV epidemic continues to rise rapidly, and yet many governments are failing to take action. IPPF EN champions free, safe and dignified lives for all people, especially those who are neglected by their governments and the societies they live in. Find out more about about how we are empowering and improving care for marginalised young people in Eastern Europe and Central Asia.

SRH care services during humanitarian crisis in Eastern Europe and Central Asia

The Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for reproductive health (RH) is a coordinated set of priority activities designed to prevent excess morbidity and mortality, particularly among women and girls at the onset of humanitarian emergencies. This report shows the overall results regarding the MISP for reproductive health preparedness in Eastern Europe and Central Asia as of today compared with 2014. The main results show that there has been a significant improvement in the region from a fair level of preparedness in 2014 to a good level of preparedness in 2017. The most important achievements are linked to the establishment of national SRH working groups, which now exist in 16 countries. This is an extraordinary achievement, as this was one of the weakest areas in 2014. Improved coordination at the national level had an impact on several other areas, and the overall results reflect the importance of having coordination in place so as to be better prepared. For the future, it will be essential to maintain this momentum and continue improving SRH preparedness in the region. The report includes some recommendations in this direction. As the authors point out, we are also living at a unique time, when a light has been shone on sexual harassment and sexual violence against women and girls in developed and developing countries. In addition, refugees and migrants continue to arrive in Europe, fleeing war-ravaged countries. Although they are disappearing from the news, their situation has not improved enough in the region. Ensuring access to priority SRH services in every humanitarian crisis means making sure that everybody can receive life-saving SRH services. This includes preventing sexual violence and taking care of survivors. To ensure comprehensiveness, preparedness activities have to be enhanced to include, in a more systematic manner, adolescent girls and young female adults, unaccompanied children, LGBTI people and women and girls with disabilities or living with HIV, in line with the SDG pledge to “leave no one behind”.

Financial Statements 2017

The overall group income of IPPF has risen by US$3.1 million (3%) to US$102.4 million (2016: US$99.2 million). Unrestricted total income rose by US$4.1 million and restricted income fell by US$1.0 million. IPPF’s main source of funding is government grants, which account for 82% (2016: 79%) of total income. In 2017 unrestricted government funding increased by US$1.4 million (2%) to US$67.4 million. The main reason for the increase was the increase in funding from the Scandinavian countries (Norway US$9.1 million, Sweden US$ 4.8 million and Denmark US$ 4.0 million) to assist in bridging the funding gap caused by the impact of the Global Gag Rule and the loss of UK government funding. Restricted government funding amounted to US$16.8 million, up from US$12.1 million in 2016. The Government of Australia continued to provide support (US$3.6 million) in relation to the global SPRINT Initiative to provide sexual and reproductive health services to crisis and post crisis areas in South East Asia, the Paci c, South Asia, and Africa and to help fund our Fiji office which supports Paci c MAs. USA provided US$6.7 million of funding for a number of programmes. The Government of Japan provided US$1.8 million for work on integration of SRHR and HIV and AIDS and humanitarian assistance for internally displaced people in Syria and refugees in Jordan and Lebanon.The Government of Germany US$0.2 million to improve access to promote sexual reproductive health services in Syria and to displaced persons in Sudan. The governments of the Netherlands, Norway and an anonymous donor also provided funding of US$3.7 million to the Safe Abortion Action Fund. Grants from multilateral donors and other sources decreased by 24% from US$20.6 million to US$15.8 million. A signifcant factor in the decrease was US$3.1 million from Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, US$2.7 million UN Programme on HIV/AIDS and US$0.4 million from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation as some current projects came to an end.

Standing firm against reproductive coercion

Women’s sexual and reproductive rights are under threat in Europe, in a climate of growing attacks on human rights, democracy and civic space. Ultra-conservative forces are trying to stifle people’s reproductive freedom and impose a coercive worldview about gender roles in family and public lives. Their cruelest tactic is forcing women through pregnancy by promoting refusal of abortion care. IPPF European Network champions reproductive freedom and access to abortion care, adapting our approach to the reality and needs of women from Norway to Tajikistan. Our work ranges from ensuring women have a voice in decision-making spaces to supporting grassroot activists and civil society movements. From providing abortion care services, to supporting health care professionals to provide the safest, highest quality care. Our members and partners are campaigners, care providers and advocates.  Read Keti's story and our latest blog series to find out how women in Georgia are being denied safe and dignified reproductive lives, and how IPPF's Georgian member, HERA XXI, is helping to tackle this.

Unrestricted total income rose by US$4.1 million and restricted income fell by US$1.0 million. IPPF’s main source of funding is government grants, which account for 82% (2016: 79%) of total income. In 2017 unrestricted government funding increased by US$1.4 million (2%) to US$67.4 million. The main reason for the increase was the increase in funding from the Scandinavian countries (Norway US$9.1 million, Sweden US$ 4.8 million and Denmark US$ 4.0 million) to assist in bridging the funding gap caused by the impact of the Global Gag Rule and the loss of UK government funding. Restricted government funding amounted to US$16.8 million, up from US$12.1 million in 2016. The Government of Australia continued to provide support (US$3.6 million) in relation to the global SPRINT Initiative to provide sexual and reproductive health services to crisis and post crisis areas in South East Asia, the Paci c, South Asia, and Africa and to help fund our Fiji office which supports Paci c MAs.
