Founded with the mission of “Scholarship and Science for Social Change,” we have been a trailblazer for innovation in the fields of family planning, reproductive health, and population dynamics for over 25 years. We have a strong track record of positive impact – whether we are supporting local partner capacity or translating science and evidence into policies, programs, and practice.

We are committed to accelerating progress toward a more gender-equal world by breaking down any barriers that keep women and girls from being fully active participants in society.

While Gender Equity is deeply integrated throughout our five Global Programs, we are highlighting it as a specific focus of our research, programmatic, and advocacy efforts.

Our work is focused on addressing health disparities among marginalized populations – such as women, girls, and gender non-conforming individuals – who are disproportionately affected by poverty, violence, and discrimination.
