IPPF Recognised as a Very High Performer in the 2025 Global Health 50/50 IndexWe’re thrilled to share some fantastic news from the report released today: The 2025 Global Health 50/50 Report: “Holding the Line.”The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) has been ranked a Very High Performer in the Gender and Health Index – placing us among the top organisations worldwide for our public commitments and workplace policies on gender equality, fairness, and equity! This year’s report analyses the policies and practices of 199 global health organisations. While the average performance across NGOs and non-profits sits at “Moderate,” IPPF has stood out for its consistent leadership."In the face of growing hostility to gender equality and reproductive rights, holding the line is not enough. For organisations working across diverse and often difficult contexts, staying true to our values means rooting our work in the realities of the communities we serve, not in the shifting winds of political convenience. When the space to act narrows, we find new ways to act, to speak, and to stand with those most affected" - Seri Wendoh International Planned Parenthood Federation Senior Technical AdvisorThe report also highlights the challenging context of shrinking funding and rising political pressure on health and rights organisations. Despite this, we continue to fight for progress and this achievement spotlights IPPF’s commitment to gender equality in practice. We’re proud of this achievement but know there’s still work ahead. We’ll keep innovating and strengthening our policies so that gender equality remains at the heart of everything we do.Read the report here.
