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.
Forcing to continue with an unwanted pregnancy is also violence. Failure to comply with Constitutional Ruling 0206/2014.
In Bolivia, as in the rest of the world, violence against women is a structural problem that affects a large number of women and their families. According to the Survey of Prevalence and Characteristics of Violence against Women 2016[1], 75 out of every 100 married or cohabiting women suffered some type of violence by their partners.
In this section you can read and download our materials, both our own and those that we technically support: brochures, leaflets, information sheets, etc.

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.
