The purpose of this statement is to review newly published data on increasing the effectiveness of levonorgestrel emergency contraceptive pills by using pre‑coital administration or combined with a non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drug; the potential use of LNG‑ECP as a regular contraceptive method for infrequent sex; ulipristal acetate which is an established EC method and is now being studied combined with misoprostol for termination of early pregnancy; and the underutilization of low dose mifepristone as an EC method.

IPPF’s commitment to person-centred care is at the heart of its strategy, Come Together (2023–2028). We deliver quality, rights-based care to all who need it, prioritizing services for marginalized communities. This entails offering options for care that are sensitive to people’s individual needs and lived experiences. It requires healthcare providers to be aware of clients’ needs and to respect their rights. This work advances IPPF’s vision of a world where all people are free to make choices about their sexuality and well-being, free from discrimination. Inclusive sexual and reproductive healthcare delivery to transgender and gender diverse people is founded upon the principles of the rights to personal autonomy, bodily integrity and respect for clients’ confidentiality and dignity. And yet, around the world, transgender and gender diverse people face widespread stigma, discrimination, violence and exclusion in healthcare settings. A crucial aspect of providing inclusive sexual and reproductive healthcare to transgender and gender diverse people therefore relates to strengthening the capacity and attitudes of healthcare providers and clinic staff as well as understanding the needs of transgender and gender diverse people. This technical brief outlines key recommendations across several sexual and reproductive health service areas to promote access to inclusive care for transgender and gender diverse people. Our goal is to expand the choice of existing or new quality sexual and reproductive health services for transgender and gender diverse people in facility and community settings.

The International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) is pleased to be share this sexual and gender-based violence services and programming overview document.  Globally, approximately one in three women are affected by sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). At IPPF, we recognise that SGBV is a major public health issue, a clinical health problem, and a violation of human rights and is a key barrier to fully accessing sexual and reproductive healthcare. IPPF is dedicated to scaling up work at the community level, including in humanitarian contexts, to prevent and respond to SGBV.  This document is intended to support and guide IPPF Member Associations (MAs) on how they can integrate their SGBV services and programmes throughout the four pillars of Strategy 2028 during stable times and during times of crisis. 

IPPF is pleased to be providing an important poster aimed at promoting safe and effective storage practices for medical supplies in your storage rooms. We understand that the quality, safety, and accessibility of medical products depend heavily on proper storage protocols. The poster covers critical areas and provides straightforward recommendations to maintain storage room conditions that prioritize patient safety and the integrity of medicines, including temperature control, cleanliness, safety and security and efficient processes. By following these practices, we can collectively safeguard product quality, enhance efficiency, and contribute to better health outcomes. The poster is double-sided with an illustrative and informative side. We are therefore sharing with you the equivalent of two posters for each of your service delivery points. We encourage you to place both side of the poster in a visible location within your facilities as a reminder of these crucial storage standards.
