Women and girls, particularly in humanitarian and marginalized settings, are facing multiple limitations in the ability to make sexual and reproductive health decisions for their bodily autonomy and well-being. These limitations include misinformation about sexual health, community social norms that eliminate support in the access to abortion and contraception, stigmatized healthcare delivery of abortion services, as well as nonexistent policies that promote access to abortion care.

With support from Global Affairs Canada, under the multi-country project – Improving Sexual and Reproductive Autonomy among Women and Girls in Nigeria, Ipas Nigeria Health Foundation has been working to remove these limitations at multiple levels in Benue, Borno, and Oyo States.
