We believe in a world where every woman and girl can determine her own future.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Ipas Bolivia continues to work to ensure that women and girls can exercise their sexual and reproductive rights.
To increase the capacity of women and young people to exercise their sexual and reproductive rights, we work in the areas of Health, Community Access, Policy and Communication.
We support health service providers in the use of new technologies, supplying equipment and medicines, and updating health personnel in order to ensure Sexual and Reproductive Health care.
Lack of information is a barrier for women and girls to exercise their Sexual and Reproductive Rights (SRHR), that is why we work in a committed way with community organizations, youth groups and society in general promoting the exercise of their SRHR.
Women and girls cannot determine their future without laws and policies that support the full exercise of their Sexual and Reproductive Rights (SRHR). Thus, we provide legal technical advice with a gender and generational approach in the framework of human rights to different public entities of the State, in the design and implementation of public policies and regulations that protect their SRHR.
We elaborate communication strategies, campaigns and informative materials on prevention in the areas of contraception, unplanned pregnancies, sexual violence, legal interruption of pregnancy and new masculinities in order to strengthen sexual and reproductive rights.
BOLIVIA DA UN PASO HISTÓRICO CONTRA EL MATRIMONIO INFANTIL: EL SENADO APRUEBA LEY PARA ELIMINAR EXCEPCIONES DESDE LOS 16 AÑOS
Este miércoles, el Senado boliviano aprobó el Proyecto de Ley que modifica la Ley N° 603, “Código de las Familias y del Proceso Familiar”, eliminando las excepciones legales que permitían el matrimonio a partir de los 16 años con autorización judicial o de los padres. Este avance representa una victoria histórica para la protección de niñas y adolescentes frente a los Matrimonios y Uniones Infantiles, Tempranas y Forzadas (MUITFs), y marca un cambio profundo hacia la garantía de una infancia libre de violencia.

I believe that masculinities is a way of coexisting with people, but respecting each other and it doesn't matter if we are men or women. The idea is that we have a society where we can live free of prejudice and free of stereotypes.
