Case Studies

Ipas led service assessments, equipment and medication supply chain evaluations, and capacity building workshops to establish menstrual regulation and post-abortion care services for displaced women in Bangaldesh. These more robust, scaled-up abortion care services created opportunities for women to more openly discuss relevant SRH issues.

A network of community-based organizations in northern Thailand improved safe abortion care (SAC) for refugee and migrant women from Burma. Programming included consulting on medical services within legal frameworks, covering patients’ procedure and travel costs, and providing language interpretation, among others.

The International Planned Parenthood Federation engaged adolescents in disaster risk reduction planning in crisis-prone South Asian territories. These adolescents led programming that involved discussing with their peers about safe sex, contraception, and gender-based violence.

Engaging young people in the research, design, and implementation of SRH programming grounded CARE International’s adolescent-focused work in Goma, DRC. CARE worked with youth leaders to evaluate adolescent-relevant services, raise awareness of contraceptive services, and foster an environment that promotes adolescents’ access to SRH services.
