IPPFWHR (International Planned Parenthood Federation, Western Hemisphere Region)

Mission: 
<p> <b>We see a world where women and men everywhere have control over their own bodies, and therefore their destinies. A world where they are free to choose parenthood or not; free to decide how many children they will have and when; free to pursue healthy sexual lives without fear of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.</b> </p> <p> <b>We will not retreat from doing everything we can to safeguard these important choices and rights for current and future generations.</b> </p>

Our Mission is to:

  • Improve
    the quality of life of individuals by campaigning for sexual and
    reproductive health and rights through advocacy and services,
    especially for poor and vulnerable people
  • Defend the right of
    all young people to enjoy their sexual lives free from ill-health,
    unwanted pregnancy, violence and discrimination
  • Support a woman’s right to choose to terminate her pregnancy legally and safely
  • Strive to eliminate sexually transmitted infections and to eradicate HIV/AIDS
