The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has been informed that the UK government has made significant cuts to the UK aid budget, including allocated funding for vital sexual and reproductive health services. The brutal cuts are a tragic blow for the world s poorest and most marginalized women and girls.
The significant loss of funding for IPPF – totalling around £72 million (approximately $100 million USD) – will mean massive reductions to the UK s flagship WISH (Women s Integrated Sexual Health) programme and the closure of services in four countries. This initiative delivers life-saving contraception and sexual and reproductive health services for women and girls in some of the world s poorest and most marginalized communities.
