Change – Sexual & reproductive health & rights for all.

CHANGE is a human rights organization, tirelessly advocating for sexual and reproductive health and rights

for all

Our Vision

A world that respects, protects, and honors sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) for all.

Our Mission

To secure and protect sexual and reproductive health and rights for all by elevating women's voices, driving public conversation, and shaping U.S. global health and foreign policy.

What is SRHR?

Learn more about SRHR

SRHR are basic human rights. They are key to gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls and others who face stigma and discrimination. And the U.S. government has a duty to respect, protect, and fulfill these rights. SRHR encompasses issues like:

Contraception

HIV and Other STIs

Maternal Health

Gender-Based Violence

Stigma & Discrimination

Abortion

Our Approach

CHANGE’s strategic approach to achieving gender equality through SRHR is guided by our Impact Model. The Impact Model is a holistic, four-pronged approach that gives us flexibility to adjust objectives and tactics as needed in the fast-paced and changing world of public discourse and policy change.

Advocacy

CHANGE is an outspoken advocate for the development and implementation of policies that affect SRHR and the lives of women and girls across the globe. Our advocacy work focuses on both policies and programs.

Partnerships

We bring them together — the people who can, should, and do change the course of women’s health and rights around the globe. We know that the more we work together, the more quickly we can break down barriers and achieve change.

Research & Policy Analysis

With the facts in hand, we can effectively hold the U.S. government accountable to its global commitments and for the impacts its actions and funding have on SRHR. We make these facts available to the people, so they can take the power in their hands to effect change.

Strategic Communications

We won’t stay quiet. We share stories of the impact of U.S. foreign policy and advance our messages, loudly and proudly. Communications is critical to spread the message that SRHR are essential to empowering women and girls around the globe.
