Our Partners and Membership

Investing in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) is the right thing to do, and it is essential to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. AmplifyChange has investments from a number of donors. With this funding, we provide grants to hundreds of civil society organisations (CSOs) across the world. They advocate for improved policy and action on the most neglected SRHR issues.

WGNRR was born out of the fire: the fire of anger about the abuse and suffering of women and the fire of passion to join hands to change women’s lives globally…”

–Loes Keysers, Founding Member

The International Campaign for Women’s Right to Safe Abortion is a membership-based network and registered charity that includes local, national, regional and international organisations and agencies, as well as individuals such as healthcare providers, policymakers and academics, all of whom support the right to safe abortion.

SAAF is the only global fund focused exclusively on women’s rights to safe and legal abortion. Our mission is to provide grants to local and grassroots organisations to build a vibrant global civil society movement that works towards increasing access to safe abortion.

Inroads: the International Network for the Reduction of Abortion Discrimination and Stigma is a global network of advocates, scholars, health providers, and donors interested in program design, research, and advocacy to address abortion stigma and its negative outcomes.

Front Line Defenders was founded in Dublin in 2001 with the specific aim of protecting human rights defenders at risk (HRDs), people who work, non-violently, for any or all of the rights enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR). Front Line Defenders addresses the protection needs identified by HRDs themselves

The MAMA Network represents a regional movement of activists working to share evidence-based and stigma-free information about self-managed medical abortion and sexual and reproductive health and rights directly with women on a community level.

Women Help Women is an international activist non-profit organization working on access to abortion.

Our projects include (a) a global telehealth service that provides information, support and abortion pills to women around the world and (b) partnerships with local feminist groups around the world to support increased access to abortion pills.
