IPPF Global Research Exposes Devastating Impact of the Trump Administration - Over Half of Partners and $85 Million Affected
A global survey of partners conducted by the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) in April revealed the widespread impact of the Trump Administration’s funding cuts, putting essential sexual and reproductive healthcare at risk for millions worldwide.
If all funding at risk is indeed cut, IPPF estimates this will result in an additional 3,844 maternal deaths, over 3 million unintended pregnancies, and 756,010 unsafe abortions. These impacts will also place a heavy financial burden on national health systems.
To address the immediate crisis, IPPF launched a Harm Mitigation Task Force to assess the evolving situation and provide emergency funding to its most affected Member Associations and Collaborative Partners. So far, two rounds of grants have allocated funding to 31 country partners in an effort to ensure that critical healthcare services and access to life saving health commodities can continue.
