How could growing concern about fertility decline affect sexual and reproductive health and rights?

Join EngenderHealth, Population Reference Bureau (PRB), and FP2030 for "At a Crossroads: New Findings on SRHR in the Context of Fertility Decline," a closed-door briefing for the global SRHR community.

We'll share findings from work spanning Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, Asia, and the Pacific, looking at how fertility decline and changing fertility preferences could affect rights-based SRHR.

Together, we'll explore what these findings tell us about a rapidly changing landscape, where emerging narratives may influence SRHR, and what the global community should be watching and doing now.

Postpartum hemorrhage (PPH), or severe bleeding after childbirth, is a leading cause of maternal death worldwide.

But deaths from PPH are not inevitable. Effective tools and treatments exist to prevent and treat it. Healthcare providers need the training and resources to recognize dangerous bleeding quickly and act without delay.

For Demekech, a young mother in Ethiopia, that quick response made all the difference.

When she began bleeding excessively after childbirth, her healthcare team detected it early and activated the E-MOTIVE treatment bundle within three minutes. The bleeding was controlled, and Demekech survived.

On , we're joining the International Confederation of Midwives and partners around the world in calling for greater attention and action to ensure lifesaving PPH care reaches every woman who needs it.

Strong contraceptive services depend on health workers having the tools and training they need to provide high-quality care.

EngenderHealth recently provided 709 family planning training kits to Kakamega County, Kenya, to support provider training and skills development across county health facilities, including postpartum contraceptive care.

We are proud to work alongside Kakamega County to strengthen the health system and expand access to informed, voluntary contraceptive choice.

What does it take to push back as antichoice movements become more coordinated, better funded, and more influential?

"Meeting Opposition with Action" shares six practical strategies EngenderHealth teams and partners have used across five countries in Africa to respond to misinformation, abortion stigma, provider bias, and organized opposition.

See what worked, what we learned, and what advocates, providers, and organizations can adapt in their own communities: https://www.engenderhealth.org/resource/meeting-opposition-with-action-how-engenderhealth-addresses-growing-anti-choice-threats-across-africa

A law can expand abortion rights, but that does not automatically mean people know what those rights are—or can access care.

That was the challenge in Benin after the country expanded its abortion law in 2021.

EngenderHealth Afrique de l'Ouest et du Centre worked with government, health professionals, and more than 20 youth and feminist organizations to help put those rights into practice.

One part of that work was Tun Bo Sô—“Know and choose” in Fongbé—a youth-led campaign that brought civil society organizations, journalists, influencers, comedians, and activists together to share information about abortion rights and access to care. Through videos, podcasts, social media, and other creative approaches, the campaign reached nearly 245,000 people.

The work helped connect legal change with the information people need to understand and exercise their rights.

Every birth should end with a healthy mother and a healthy baby.

Yet postpartum hemorrhage (PPH) remains one of the most urgent complications following childbirth. It can happen suddenly, and when it does, timely recognition and treatment can make the difference.

This World PPH Day, we are joining the global call to translate evidence into action.

Because when a woman starts bleeding, every minute matters.
