2024 was a year of intensifying opposition, shrinking civic spaces, and deepening humanitarian crises. Yet our collective resilience shone through. Across South Asia, IPPF Member Associations stood firm, delivering essential sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services even in emergencies. We came together to strengthen a united movement in South Asia for sexual and reproductive justice at the ReproSex Conference in Colombo, while the first-of-its-kind Rainbow Help Desk in Bhutan by RENEW broke new ground in providing SGBV support to LGBTI+ communities. We deepened our solidarity with regional feminist, LGBTI+, and youth movements and expanded our partnerships to move resources closer to communities.
In 2024, we
- Provided 23.4 million SRH services across South Asia, including 7.38 million services for young people under 25 years
- Reached 5.15 million clients, including 1.08 million people in humanitarian settings
- Delivered comprehensive sexuality education to 372,645 young people
I am pleased to share “Strides for Reproductive Justice”, the IPPF South Asia Region Annual Progress Report for 2024. Each achievement in the report is a testament to our shared vision of a world with sexual and reproductive health and rights for all.
In solidarity,
Tomoko Fukuda
