The William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health (WHGI) is launching an advocacy-focused response to the unprecedented attacks on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Recent U.S. foreign aid cuts and political rollbacks threaten decades of progress in family planning and global health, putting millions at risk. This is not just about access to services; it is about the dismantling of a global movement for equity, gender rights, and bodily autonomy. WHGI is committed to action, leveraging our platform (Family Planning News Network, International Conference on Family Planning, Performance Monitoring for Action (formerly PMA2020), The Challenge Initiative, and more) to drive a coordinated, community-led response. In particular, we want to be sure to align efforts with the momentum of ICFP 2025’s theme: "Equity Through Action: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for All." To ensure this response is community-driven, WHGI is conducting a needs assessment of the FP/SRHR community. Your insights will help shape a united advocacy agenda that will be shared with key stakeholders, including donors. This is a critical opportunity to strengthen our collective response to this crisis and ensure that advocacy efforts are strategic, inclusive, and impactful. 📢 We need your voice! Please take a few moments to complete this survey and help drive action. https://lnkd.in/eVWzyzqa

Amidst ever-growing challenges, FPNN will continue to remain a community-powered media network bringing you relevant news and updates for the #FamilyPlanning and #SRHR sector. In the coming weeks, we hope we can bring the community together, despite political actions aimed at ripping us apart. Don't miss this message from the Director of the William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health (our host institution), and stay tuned for more updates from FPNN.
Professor & Director of the William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health
Over the past week, the new U.S. administration has issued sweeping policy changes to foreign aid, including a 90-day freeze on foreign assistance funding—effectively dismantling USAID and the global foreign aid infrastructure. These changes will have devastating consequences. In the realm of family planning and reproductive health alone, the Guttmacher Institute estimates that during this freeze, 11.7 million women and girls will be denied services, resulting in 4.2 million unintended pregnancies and, tragically, 8,340 maternal deaths. What is the purpose of these policy changes? In his remarks after being sworn in, Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated: “Anything that makes us stronger, safer, or more prosperous will be our mission, our job across the world.” We share these goals, and foreign aid is central to achieving them. U.S. assistance builds stability, strengthens democracies, improves health, and reduces the spread of terrorism. It also fosters economic growth by creating and expanding trade markets. Foreign aid is not charity but a strategic investment in global security and prosperity. We remain committed to these global goals through scholarship and science for social change at the William H. Gates Sr. Institute for Population and Reproductive Health (WHGI). Our work provides evidence-based solutions that empower communities and drive policy action. Through research on the Demographic Dividend, we provide high-quality data to help countries achieve population-driven economic growth. The Challenge Initiative (TCI) helps local governments scale up high-impact interventions that save lives. Performance Monitoring for Action (formerly PMA2020) delivers critical, real-time data to inform local and national policies. In November 2025, the International Conference on Family Planning (ICFP)—the world’s largest convening on family planning and reproductive health—will take place in Bogotá, Colombia, under the theme: “Equity Through Action: Advancing Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights for All.” In this moment of uncertainty, WHGI is stepping up to convene the broader global community for urgent, solutions-driven discussions. In the coming weeks, we will leverage our platforms and partnerships to serve as a neutral convener, bringing together diverse voices for deep, strategic conversations on protecting and strengthening reproductive health and rights worldwide. The Family Planning News Network (FPNN) will soon launch a storytelling advocacy campaign to elevate the voices of those most affected by these cuts and highlight their consequences. It is easy to feel overwhelmed and distracted in times of chaos and uncertainty. But now is the time to act. We must remain steadfast, united in purpose, and committed to our community’s collective goals. By staying focused and empowering people worldwide to do the same, we can rise above the uncertainty and make a meaningful impact on the lives of millions who depend on this work.
