Ipas in the World
Ipas Bolivia is part of a global network operating in over 20 countries to ensure that everyone can exercise their sexual and reproductive rights (SRHR) with dignity and safety. We are committed to breaking down barriers faced by women, youth, LGBTQI+ people, and indigenous communities in accessing sexual and reproductive health services.
Our global impact
From Bolivia, we contribute to a global movement aimed at transforming health systems, influencing public policies, and empowering communities. Through our alliances, we share knowledge and strategies to address challenges that limit access to sexual and reproductive health services and the exercise of SRHR.
Commitment and future
Our sustainable ecosystem approach ensures that vulnerable communities have access to quality information and services. We will continue advocating for SRHR in Bolivia and around the world, promoting lasting and positive change.
