Funds from the world’s richest nation once flowed from the largest global aid agency to an intricate network of small, medium and large organizations that delivered aid. Now, that network is unraveling. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/08/h...

🚨BREAKING: new research from @careintuk reveals UK aid for women and girls slashed worldwide and is now at just half what it was pre-pandemic. The fall represents a disproportionate decrease compared to the overall drop in ODA spending. careint.uk/414sL4o

International NGOs like Ipas have been readying for the reinstatement of the Global Gag Rule since the election. "It’s not about the day that Trump will sign, we are already facing those situations on the ground." —Dr. Jean-Claude Mulunda, country director for Ipas DRC @rollcall.com bit.ly/3EcNA4R

Countries with legal abortion, such as Mozambique and Nepal, were stepping back from Ipas’s work even before Trump’s inauguration. “What they see is a government and a donor that is hostile towards abortion care, so it’s much easier to simply stay away from it.” —Anu Kumar, Ipas President & CEO

Statement from Ipas on the Global Gag Rule: "The policy not only prevents thousands of people from accessing legal abortion services, it has a chilling effect on NGOs working in reproductive health. Healthcare providers are shunned, clinics close, and more women and girls die from unsafe abortion."

President Trump has reinstated the Global Gag Rule, rejoined the Geneva Consensus Declaration (GCD) and strengthened the Hyde Amendment. “These actions add up to a violation of human rights, bodily autonomy and democracy” says Ipas President & CEO Anu Kumar. Read our full statement: bit.ly/3Wv3YUo

Trump's anti-trans EO "is a clear and deliberate signal of what is to come from this Administration," says Bethany Van Kampen Saravia, Ipas senior legal and policy adviser, in this @opendemocracy.net piece from @sianushka.bsky.social. bit.ly/4h7QzKd

The extreme gender ideology is the movement that elects a President after a judge in New York found a rape allegation made against him to be “substantially true”. It is the movement that celebrates his election with the slogan “your body, my choice.” I wrote about Trump's attack on gender rights

As we brace ourselves for the Global Gag Rule under Trump 2.0, Ipas DRC director Dr. Jean-Claude Mulunda was clear when speaking to Salon: the policy will cause harm, especially to young women who are victims of rape, incest and child marriage. @salonnewsroom.bsky.social bit.ly/3PGcbRI

"With Trump 2.0, the US enters a new era – one where people’s rights, particularly those of women and girls, LGBTQIA+ people, Black or brown people, or immigrants, are ignored, or worse, violated." —Ipas President & CEO Anu Kumar in Open Democracy. Read the full op-ed 🔦 bit.ly/40GFBpa

Throughout this challenging year, Ipas has remained unwavering in our mission to empower women and girls and to help fulfill critical unmet needs in reproductive health care. Here are just some of the ways Ipas made a difference in 2024: www.ipas.org/news/9-ways-...

Miscarriages sometimes require treatment to prevent life-threatening infection or hemorrhage. Abortion bans prevent health professionals from freely providing this care. Pregnant people traveling for the holidays now have to consider the risk of spending time in a state that bans health care.

As Ipas president & CEO Anu Kumar says in @insidephilanthropy.com, the international aid picture looks "pretty bleak" under the incoming US administration. The global gag rule increases unintended pregnancies and unsafe #abortion by putting critical services out of reach. #reprosky #reprorights

Banning #abortion has never stopped it, just made it unsafe. But as @ipas.org CEO Anu Kumar told me in an interview, this is a 'grave and serious moment' for reproductive rights: ⬇️ healthpolicy-watch.news/grave-and-se...

Invoking fear and trying to force abstinence does nothing to prevent unwanted pregnancies. We all benefit when people have access to comprehensive sexuality education, contraception and bodily autonomy. Learn more: www.ipas.org #reprosky #reprorights #reprojustice #abortion #SRHR #CSE
