Freeda, a giant IUD, is coming to London 👀

She’s a symbol of the freedom to make decisions about our own bodies. She's also a reminder that millions globally can't access contraception.

✊ Join us on Wednesday on the South Bank to stand for choice with Plan International UK IPPF European Network

La destruction imminente d’un stock de contraceptifs USAID stocké en #Belgique démontre le mépris des #États-Unis à l’égard du droit à la santé.
Les autorités belges doivent continuer d’agir pour empêcher que ce stock soit détruit ou abandonné !

We are deeply alarmed by Türkiye’s possible draft law reintroducing forced sterilization as a requirement for legal gender recognition and imposing harsh criminal penalties on both transgender individuals and the health professionals who provide essential care.
