Sex Og Politikk – Ippf Norway

Sex og Politikk – IPPF Norway is a non-profit and politically independent member-based organisation that works to strengthen and promote sexual and reproductive health and rights in Norway and internationally. Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are about deciding if and when one wants children, about having access to information, as well as access to safe, modern and affordable contraception, about the right to safe and legal abortion and the right to act on one owns’ sexuality, without persecution or discrimination. We at Sex og Politikk believe that all people should be given access to sexual and reproductive health care services and rights, regardless of their economic, social and geographical position. Our goal is to preserve and protect the rights we already have, and further to fight to develop and strengthen sexual and reproductive rights. Sex og Politikk is the Norwegian member association of International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF), which is the largest federation for SRHR in the world, with national organisations in more than 150 countries in addition to Norway. Sex og Politikk works closely with many of our sister organisations in the IPPF. Sex og Politikk works for the development of better health care services and to safeguard rights linked to sexuality and reproductive health globally. This is an important field for strengthening women’s and girl’s rights and for working for human rights, gender equality and poverty reduction.
