We stand in solidarity

A statement from the staff of the Family Planning 2020 Secretariat

At the FP2020 Secretariat, we work with partners around the world to advance human rights for everyone and build a world where women and girls are free to make decisions about their bodies, their reproductive health, and their futures.

Every individual has the right to bodily autonomy, safety, and dignity, regardless of age, gender, race, or ethnicity. The recent murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and so many others — against the backdrop of racial disparity in the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic — shines a bright light on the structural and systemic racism that plagues our society. The Secretariat stands with our U.S.-based and global partners in acknowledging the anger and anguish of the Black community.
