Our Vision
IPPF European Network envisions a world where every individual is healthy; where sex and sexuality are recognised as fundamental and precious parts of human life; where sexual and reproductive choices are respected; and where diversity is valued and celebrated.
Our Values
IPPF EN believes that sexual and reproductive health is integral to an individual's physical, mental and social well-being.
IPPF EN is committed to ensuring that every individual has the opportunity and the power to make a personal and informed choice, free of coercion, on any matter relating to her or his sexual and reproductive life.
IPPF EN is committed to every individual having the moral and legal right to dignity, sexual autonomy and bodily integrity and the right to access the highest quality SRH services.
IPPF EN fully recognises the tough reality for the poor, vulnerable and socially-excluded and the need to change existing power relations in order to eliminate gender biases and inequalities that influence women, men and young people's health, choice and rights.
IPPF EN is a democratic organisation based on volunteer activism and leadership in the pursuit of its mission.
Mission Statement
To advance the basic human right of all people to make free and informed choices in their sexual and reproductive lives; to fight for the accessibility to high quality information, education and health services regarding sexuality and sexual identities, conception, contraception, safe abortion, and sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS.
The 'IPPF Charter on Sexual and Reproductive Rights' identifies 12 fundamental rights representing the ethical foundations on which the mission and programmes of the International Planned Parenthood Federation (IPPF) rest. The 12 principles are grounded in international human rights instruments (the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women, the Convention on the Rights of the Child), and are developed according to the specific sexual and reproductive issues they address.
