In Rwanda, unsafe abortion complications ranked the 5th cause of maternal hospitalization and mortality.
It's International #SafeAbortionDay! 💜
MDFC believes that no woman should face barriers, stigma, or fear when seeking care, which results in maternal deaths or complications.

Use of contraception is a shared responsibility. Discussing options is part of a balanced and healthy relationship.
On this #WorldContraceptionDay, MDFC stands in solidarity with the global call for A choice for all – agency, intention, access.

Healey just signed a law expanding reproductive and transgender care. Here's what to know.
Healey called it “the strongest law in America that will protect reproductive health care, gender-affirming care, and those who provide it.”

Trump’s budget bill is going to have disastrous effects on the country’s most vulnerable communities, including people living in rural areas.

The conversations went deep into the root causes of inequality, reminding us that gender balance is more than a policy; it’s a daily practice we must live out in our organizations.
