The product of a Federation-wide consensus, this framework brings together the ideas and experience of IPPF Member Associations, senior volunteers, Regional Offices and Central Office, and has been approved by the Governing Council. By combining an understanding of our past with a vision for our future, this new plan presents a 'framework of opportunity' that Member Associations can interpret to develop the most appropriate response to specific sexual and reproductive health challenges. The ‘Strategic Framework’ is not intended to impose a rigid set of rules or constraints. Rather, it embraces the diversity of situations Member Associations and regions face. While providing this flexibility, the framework unites the Federation in a common vision on which we are compelled to act if we are to meet the needs of women, men and young people throughout the world.

Imperatives of both human rights and public health require that health care and legal systems support the sexual and reproductive health and rights of people living with HIV. This Guidance Package, developed by people living with HIV, describes the important issues and key areas for change. Going forward, legislators, government ministries, international organizations, donors, and community - and faith-based organizations - with the continued input and guidance of people living with HIV, must work together to put in place the services and legal supports that will build better sexual and reproductive health for everyone.

The IPPF declaration is grounded in and informed by international agreements such as United Nations Conventions. This abridged version to be used in conjunction with IPPF's original Sexual Rights Declaration.
