Description
Fòs Feminista is an intersectional feminist organization centered around the sexual and reproductive health and rights of women, girls, and gender-diverse people. Fòs Feminista is dedicated to expanding access to rights-based sexual and reproductive health care, including contraceptive services, STI detection and treatment, cancer screening and treatment, care for survivors of gender-based violence, and safe abortion services; reaching young people with comprehensive sexuality education; and advocating for sexual and reproductive justice. Their approach of building feminist solidarity among organizations across the Global South is central to achieving this mission.
Fòs Feminista was formerly International Women’s Health Coalition (IWHC), International Planned Parenthood Federation Western Hemisphere Region (IPPFWHR), and Center for Health and Gender Equity (CHANGE). All three organizations joined forces to create a new feminist alliance, under the leadership of IPPFWHR.
