Ipas DRC offers a new vision for the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) in which every woman, regardless of her social or ethnic background, has the potential to achieve all of her social, cultural, economic, and political goals.

Ipas DRC works with local partners to educate all relevant stakeholders, including women and communities, about women’s newly expanded right to access safe abortion.

In collaboration with the Ministry of Health and key partners, we have helped develop new standards and guidelines for comprehensive abortion care that align with the Maputo Protocol, and we are now working to ensure their full implementation. We also train health care providers to offer abortion and contraception services, and we partner with community organizations and community health workers to ensure that women and girls have access to these services.
