Together, we advocate for a fertility-in-all-policies approach that leaves nobody behind.
Our goals are to reduce exposure to socio-economic and environmental risk factors affecting fertility, and to ensure that those facing infertility have access to safe, efficient treatments and psychosocial support.
From raising awareness and promoting exchange among diverse stakeholders to suggesting concrete policy solutions, we’re driving change for individuals and couples affected by involuntary childlessness.
Familial Autonomy
Internationally Implementing the Right to Found a Family: As families evolve, so must our policies. We advocate for policies supporting autonomy in personal family decisions.
Inclusive Fertility
Ensuring Universal Access to Fertility Services: Making fertility treatments and knowledge accessible to all, regardless of socioeconomic status, marital status, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and sex characteristics.
Silent Struggle
Unveiling the Long-Term Challenge of Involuntary Childlessness: Often overlooked, involuntary childlessness is a significant condition with complex implications, including its impact on mental health. Improved access to accurate and publicly available information about fertility, infertility, and involuntary childlessness is essential, alongside mental health support for those affected.
Fertility Empowerment
Implementing Comprehensive Sexuality Education Programs: Empowering people with knowledge on fertility and family decisions.
Equitable Support
Providing Targeted Support for Marginalized Groups: Ensuring that minorities and discriminated groups receive equitable fertility care.
Family-Centered Policies
Adopting a “Fertility in all Policies” Approach: Every policy must be assessed for its impact on people’s freedom to build the family they desire. This should apply to policies with a direct effect on biological fertility, e.g., on chemicals and pollution, as well as to policies affecting socioeconomic aspects of family planning, e.g., on employment, housing and childcare.
