This has been a year like no other. Yet the fight for sexual and reproductive health and rights by our awe-inspiring teams and partners around the world has continued in the face of uncharted challenges. Here, we share 20 moments from 2020 that have shaped the year for IPPF.
1. IPPF’s COVID-19 response
COVID-19 has upended life as we all knew it. The impact on public health has been cataclysmic, and we have the utmost gratitude and admiration for our Member Associations who stopped at nothing to carry on delivering vital sexual and reproductive healthcare during this unprecedented year.
We are in awe of every worker and every volunteer who was able to continue doing their very best to provide vital sexual and reproductive healthcare, even at risk to themselves. They are truly heroes, and we are forever grateful for their dedication and commitment.
