IPPF South Asia Region

IPPF South Asia Regional Office (SARO) is one of the six regional networks of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF). IPPF is a global healthcare provider and a leading advocate of sexual and reproductive health and rights for all. In the region, we work in nine countries – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Iran, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka through the Member Associations (MA) -- IPPF accredited organizations-- and collaborative partner. In the South Asia region, which has its own unique challenges and opportunities, we advocate with governments to ensure they fulfil their commitments towards sexual reproductive and health rights for all. We support our MAs to educate young people to make informed, safer choices about their sexual health and well-being. We stand for protection of women and girls against reproductive bullying. Our MA provides medical services, counselling and support to those in need, even during humanitarian emergencies. We along with our volunteers and the Member Associations work to bring to life our vision: From choice, a world of possibilities.
